I have tried finding a solution to this issue and the closest I have found thus far can be found here. https://www.reddit.com/r/networking/comments/8f2sn0/throughput_limited_by_cisco_2960_switch/ My networking knowledge is limited and I don't quite understand what is being discussed or how to go about testing it yet.
Any help would be appreciated, this is driving me crazy! I will post some config snippets tomorrow when I return to the office.
The Issue:
We have a 72Mb download and 20Mb upload package from the ISP. This connects to a Cisco ISR 4331 on gig 0/0/1 with the 100Mb license installed. When connecting a computer directly to the ISR 4331 on gig 0/0/1 the ISP throughput is achieved consistently on speedtest.net
We have a Cisco 2960L switch with Vlans. JPERF test between two computers connected to two different Vlans gives us 940Mb speeds, so interVlan routing locally is running great.
We have created a routed port on the 2960L on gig0/1 connected to ISR 4331 gig 0/0/0 on their own VLAN. Auto negotiate and no extra configuration on these ports. Same computers connected on the switchports and everything is working as would be expected however when running the speedtest again on speedtest.net on the same computer the throughput is consistently throttled to between 35-50 Mb Download and 3-6Mb upload.
All computers on all Vlans experience this throttling. Download speeds on speedtest can be erratic and sometimes shoot up to 55Mb or 60Mb, upload speeds are consistently in the range of 3-6Mb for all computers on the network.
JPERF between various computers connected to the 2960L show upwards of 900Mb speeds.
What could be the most likely cause of this ?
EDIT:
2960L Gig 0/47 is now connected to 4331 using Gig 0/0/0 using a new patch cable
EDIT: 2960L Switch Config:

sh platform hardware throughput level. On these routers you have to set the throughput level. For instance in relation to your example, in config mode:platform hardware throughput level MB 100
