No change on my Network speed on my Mac mini after upgrading internet connection.

I have a Mac Mini M2 Pro 2023. I upgraded my internet connection through Frontier from 1 Gig to 2 Gig. To my great surprise I am still gettin 1 Gig speed via my ethernet connection to the modem. Talked to the Frontier people and they recommend "placing a new card interface in my computer that is 2 Gig compatible". But no matter what I have tried changing configuration to manual and disabling modes I still get the same numbers in up and downloads 940 and 939. Talked to apple tech today and we used the terminal with command networkquality -v.

Where is the problem when I run the speed test? It is like there is a big cork that prevents the stream at exactly one half of what I was expecting after changing my 1 Gig for the "upgraded" 2 Gig. Is this a computer problem or is this a configuration problem? Do I need extra equipment to make this work?

Does anyone Thanks for your response.

It may be your modem's limitation. If you "only" have 1 Gbps ethernet ports on the LAN side of the modem you are not going to get anything faster even if your ISP is capable of 2 Gbps. You may need a new modem.
