When running a speedest in native windows 10 (2004) i get about 3mbit up: https://www.speedtest.net/result/9664495719
When hosting kubuntu in hyper-v, I get nearly my full 38mbit up: https://www.speedtest.net/result/9664479113
Both windows and linux are running through the hyper-v virtual swtich.
Any idea why Windows is significantly slower? Possibly something to do with how the Windows IP stack is configured?

andrewvinci have you tried performing actual download and check the speed?
How about testing with other websites?
Let say, if you turn off Hyper-V and run test on Windows, are you facing the same result?
Is there any update running?
Reza_Ameri-Archived It's uploading that's the issue, and it's hard to find an international server that will accept an upload at this speed.
Using other speedtest sites, such as https://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/
The best i can do is a screenshot of the above as it doesnt have permalinks: https://imgur.com/a/WHURMM4
No updates or any other stuff going on on the network (as evidenced by the linux box hitting full speed). All hyper-v machines are off while running the windows speedtest.
What browser are you using in Windows PC?
Have you tried visiting the website with other browser?
