Public bug reported:

This is a hardware specific issue with Ubuntu 18.04 and kernel
4.15.0-20-generic. The driver for the Intel AC 9560 wireless chip causes
the problem. Driver location:
https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000005511
/network-and-i-o/wireless-networking.html

The wifi connection is very slow (1MB instead of 100MB possible download
speed, upload speed is normal) and is also very unreliable.

When installing the 4.16 kernel from mainline kernel
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.16/ the described
problem is solved.
