Internet Connection slow with Linux

Question

I have a problem with my new internet connection. This is a symmetric 500Mbs connection but i only get 50M in my linux computer (fedora 30). In windows I get 500Mb for up and down with other computer. I know that the problem is in my ethernet connection in linux because my speed in ethernet card is 100Mb. I don't know why.

This is the ethernet card values (it supports 1Gb)

Supported ports: [ TP MII ]
Supported link modes:   10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 
                        100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full

I tried with ethtool but when I try to change to 1000Mb/s with

$ sudo ethtool -s enp3s0 speed 1000 duplex full

Settings for enp3s0:
        Supported ports: [ TP MII ]
        Supported link modes:   10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 
                                100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full

                               drv probe ifdown ifup
        Link detected: no

but I get no link connection

If I try to up the enp3s0 the 1000Mb speed disappears and I get 100M again

$ sudo ifup enp3s0 

$

I don't know what else to try.

Thanks

Considering you say it's working fine in an other OS (is it connected exactly the same or differently?), this looks like a driver problem. Not sure how it could be helped here on UL, but anyway there's one missing information: the card brand and chipset model. — A.B, Feb 11 '20 at 18:59
Also it's strange that autonegociation is off. Did you try keeping it on? AFAIK 1000mbps requires autoneg: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autonegotiation "is mandatory for 1000BASE-T gigabit Ethernet over twisted pair." — A.B, Feb 11 '20 at 19:08
