Ethernet speed on iMac

I have an iMac 2019 21.5" 3.2 GHz 6-Core Intel Core i7.

Lately I've upgraded my internet speed to 2.5 Gb

At Fast.com it seems speed only at 1.2Gb

Is here any iMac preferences to change ?

Is my iMac only ethernet card up to 1.0 Gb ?

iMac connected to a Switch 2.5Gb speed

iMac connected to a Switch via ethernet cable Cat 8.

Any advice will be appreciated.

thanks
