I have connected my system to a particular ethernet.

The speed is very slow. But same ethernet cable if connected to some other system the speed is awesome.

I used to get same speed before. And if I connect some other ethernet the speed is awesome.

Its just that this particular ethernet came up with slow issue with only my system ubuntu 14.04.

Tried following commands

sudo ifconfig down

sudo ifconfig up

sudo service network-manager restart

How did you measure the speed of internet? or is your speed subjective. If you did measure how much did it slow down?

Its possible that that speed is limited on the machine by routers (mac address speed filtering for large bandwidth users) in which case changing the mac address may help

eg. How to change the MAC address of pc?

but this is pure speculation as to cause.

Make sure your ISP is not throttling you. Sometimes ISPs throttle Bittorrent, Tor and Linux connections to prevent cybercrime.

Also, are you sure that the problem is not at the PC itself? Try connecting a wifi card or USB into the computer and compare to ethernet.
