I have a dual-boot system (Window 10 - Ubuntu 14.4) with an Ethernet NVIDIA nForce Networking Controller.
When I measure my download/upload speeds of my internet connection my Windows 10 speedtest reads 94 Mb/s download and 33Mb/s upload.
When I do the same test in Ubuntu 14.4 I get 46 Mb/s down and 31 Mb/s up.
My question: Machine and hardware being the same why this difference? What can account for this? The network controller's drivers?
Any help/suggestions how to solve this will be greatly appreciated.
