Honestly, I won’t do that. About three weeks ago I had gotten approval for a new static ip address, at which point I asked for them to allow me to ssh to that address. I was *refused* and told I had to use a VPN because they “have to protect shh from the internet.” (!!!) An IT department that thinks ssh needs to be protected is not a department you want to deal with, ever. If I ask them about bandwidth I fear they will take away ssh access from the address I already had. Yes, this is what your tax dollars pay for. Sent from my iPad

Ethtool says the new card is running at 1000Mb/s.
That's the link speed, not necessarily reflective of the bandwidth provided by upstream.
A different computer behind the same switch (which claims to have gigabit ethernet: TP-Link AC1750) also gets those upload and download speeds.
It is, of course, possible that the UofT has throttled my bandwidth, or the bandwidth to the building I am located in.
That's where my suspicion immediately goes (or the switch itself if not the building).
Maybe open a ticket with support as a next step? They ought to be able to clarify what speed you should be getting.
