Card is an RTL8723BE.
On 16.04 with the HWE stack, after 1795116 was fixed performance was a
stable 75-80Mb/s.

On 18.04, performance was still a stable 75-80Mb/s.
After updating to 19.10, performance is typically ~50Mb/s, or about a
37% regression.

So no corrupted packets or etc during that transfer.

No issues of any kind in the week that it's been up. Just terrible
performance.
I'm painfully aware of all the module's parameters etc, and have tried
them all, with no change in the results outside of typical wifi
variance.
