hi!
i also noticed that network speed in ce 20.0 is slower than in 19.5 final. i also experienced visible buffering and the starting of playback seems to take quite a bit longer than usual. i remember that i had a similar problem in 19.5 rc3, which was discussed by someone else in the feedback thread for rc3, but was reported as resolved in this answer here. it had something to do with a dtb.img file. so just to be sure…is it possible that this fix didn’t make its way into 20.0?
my ethtool output looks as follows:
