How do I raise my Link Speed (receive/transmit)?

I just changed my ISP to frontier and got 200/200 speeds but my gaming PC only reads 100/100 when I viewed my network properties.(Yes I'm connected through Ethernet) I was wondering how I would go about changing that because when I do speed test, I get 95 down 98 up (Ethernet). When I do the speed test on my phone, I get 199 download and 196 upload (WiFi) I've googled just about everything and tried everything I've read.

It is most likely your ethernet cable, if your ethernet cable is a cat5 cable, max speed you can get is 100mbps. I would recommend switching to a cat 5e or preferably a cat 6 ethernet cable. I checked the ethernet port you provided and you are capable of 1gig speeds, try a network cable and that should fix the issue.
