You won't have much luck with doing anything to the driver part of it, but you could try a custom kernel. There's two advantages to that, one is it would be more recent than whatever kernel that Debian is using, and the second is the optimized networking stack, which speeds up processing of packets and improves the congestion handling algorithm. I'd recommend the Xanmod kernel for this: https://xanmod.org/
Alternatively, if we suspect your network is the culprit then the solution could be as simple a buying a new card and disabling the builtin one.
I like my debian vanilla but thanks for the suggestion. The other network card would be interesting to try out. I don't really suspect the network card, since I have no idea whether the network block is a consequence or a cause here.
