Fast In Safe Mode, Slow In Normal Mode.

Hello TomsHardware,

I have recently moved from one location to another and therefore needed to change internet providers. Previously I was on 75 Download and 19 Upload speeds which are good for what I wanted. However, after I moved I did another speed test and was getting 30 download and 1.5 upload... shocking, so I gave them a ring and they booted the PC up into safe mode and these speeds went up to 105 download and 9 upload.

My question is why is this? Why can I go from one provider and it worked fine. To another and now it doesn't work. They said it's my PC which I can appreciate but why have the speeds dropped so much. I have tried on my laptop and the speed is amazing. But the desktop seems to have a problem.

Things I have done!
Reboot PC (Didn't work)

Restart Router (Didn't work)

Check for Viruses (Didn't Work)

Use a different browser (Didn't Work)

Disable and enable the Realtek Adapter (Worked for a while then went to slow speeds again)

Overall I'm confused and frustrated, my PC worked perfectly before I moved into this area. Any help much appreciated.

2600k, 8gb ram, Asrock Gen 3 Ex3, 750w corsair psu.

Cheers guys and girls 🙂

Yeah I'm paying for 120 Down and there 12 up. I'm happy with 9 but not 1.8 - 4... Optical drive has weirdly broken. So has USB ports. I don't know might be all linked together who knows... Starting to pull my hair out over this. Good morning anyway!

You could spend all day replacing .dll and registry setting. I think we may of got to that f word. I would love to try and fixit but I'm stumped. Ill message again if I come up with anything. It sounds like your OS is corrupted.

Ps if you wish to try you could do a repair instead of a full OS format and reinstall.

Yeah it's weird how it all worked before the move. I got the first BSOD on this build the other day I can't remember the code but it was something "Page_Fault..." Or something which I believe is a RAM issue. Weird well thanks for trying. I will reinstall the OS when I can get an optical drive or USB stick to work. Weird.
