XPS 8930, problem with network card upload ratio

Yes. You can install a new network card. 

I have installed this version in one of the PCI-e slots. It was plug and play

Before you do that, have you tried disabling all Killer network software and services? That throttles network speeds.  See this thread.

Before you do anything with the hardware (or software), what type of Internet service do you have?  If it's cable or ADSL, what you're seeing is likely perfectly normal -- fast download, slow upload.

Unless you have fiber internet, which is synchronous (same speed up/down), there is no issue.

@ ejn63 Hello, I have a 3.5 Mbps fiber optic connection.

@Hokie_Shankar Very interesting solution, there's enough room in this tiny tower?

@mrochette01​  Yes!

My RTX 4060 takes two slots and the network card went into the 3rd slot (circled)

@ejn63​ : I have had cable for a long time. My download speed is 1400 Mbps (used to be 940 Mbps) and upload speed is 40 Mbps.  OP has 2Mbps upload speed and that does not seem normal.

Follow the instructions on this thread to disable all Killer services, your upload speed will be restored https://www.dell.com/community/en/conversations/xps-desktops/how-to-stop-killer-services-from-restarting/64a3fbc3f4ccf8a8dea52e14

Once you uninstall KIller services, follow these instructions to prevent future installation of Killer services with Windows updates. Even then, it is advisable to periodically check to ensure that these killer and rivet services are not running.

In my case, I had network speed reduction (download) even after disabling Killer services.  It turned out that my Norton 360 was doing that. Once I uninstalled Norton, I got my 1400Mbps download speed back.  I now use Microsoft defender (office  365 subscription) exclusively.
