Ok so since i switched over from win10 i couldn't get 140Mbit/s internet connection as per contract and once i started messing arround i found this:
sudo lshw -C Network

memory:d0000000-d0003fff
and i tried to manually switch it to 1Gbit/s with
sudo ethtool -s enp3s0 speed 1000 duplex full autoneg on
and i just lose connection untill i run the command again with speed 100. I used the same cable and lan card on win10 and had the full 140Mbit/s connection, how come it is not working now.
And also what is the difference between enp3s0 and eth0, almost every site i searched only mentions eth0 and very rarely enp3s0.
Edit: this is the real lshw after the ethtool command ignore the one above

It's autonegotiating to 100mbps, are you sure it's plugged into a gigabit port on the other end?
It's called enp3s0 because of its PCIe bus location, has to do with udev/systemd naming schemes. You could rename it if you want by creating a udev rule or modifying /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules or similar

Manually setting connection speed to 1Gbit/s instead of 100Mb/s
