Desktop ethernet port not reaching the speed of gigabit UFB

I recently upgraded my Slingshot 100/20 UFB plan to the Gigantic plan. After the upgrade, I tested both my Late2013 MBP and the desktop PC by plugging to the same ethernet port hardwired to the wall. The speed test indicated that the MBP worked perfectly fine by reaching 950/550mbps, but the PC only reached 450/400mbps max. As long as I can see, both devices showed the connection speed of 1Gbps.

I subsequently tested LAN speed by transferring large files from the PC to MBP over ethernet and the speed was constant 115MB/s, which was close to the theoretical maximum of gigabit ethernet.

The problem here is that the ethernet port of my PC is capable of transferring at the gigabit speed, but can only reach half of that speed when running internet speed test while the MBP has no such issue. I have a Samsung 860 EVO SSD installed as the system disk so there is no way it bottlenecks the throughput.

Does anyone have the same experience or any suggestions?

Cheers

Welles
