I have upgraded from 14.04 about a week ago and now my internet connection is slow. It is only slow on this computer and I cannot figure what is going wrong.
From my searching I have found that it could be that IPv6 is slowing down my connection. Issuing the command cat /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/disable_ipv6
reports 1
and this should mean that IPv6 is disable but the problem persists. Even after a reboot.
Any ideas? If this can't be worked out I may just go back to 14.04.
Thanks.
EDIT: Here are the results from speedtest.net on the Ubuntu 16.04 computer: Ping: 9ms, Download 8.99 Mbps, UPLOAD
0.96 Mbps.
These numbers are not far from what I'm paying for. Maybe the problem is different; although I experience the same slow speeds in both firefox and google chrome.
Anyway, here are the results from the various network commands:
