This suggests that the PC is only connecting at 100Mbps instead of 1000Mbps. 

Try using a different cable and a different socket on the Hub. Check the ethernet settings in the PC to see its connection speed.

Is the PC cable connected direct to the VM Hub ?   

i.e. not via a 10/100 switch or a 10/100 Powerline extender or similar.

yes direct to the hub

Run this speed test, use the FULL test and post the results please.

This will show the speed VM are sending to your Hub, and the speed your PC is receiving.

That 94.0 Mbps reading is the classic symptom of a 100 Mbps ethernet connection. Do the checks I suggested above.

Search for 'Powershell' on your PC, then select 'Windows PowerShell ISE'.

Copy/paste the below code into the main window at the top, press the green 'Play' button, then copy/paste the results into a reply on here:

$adapters = @((Get-NetAdapter).Name)

For ($i = 0; $i -le $adapters.length-1; $i++) {
Write-Host (Get-NetAdapter -Name $adapters[$i]).LinkSpeed;
}

An example on my PC:
