So I feel like this problem started maybe a month ago. On my PC (wired directly to my modem) each file download or connection seems to be capped at ~18Mbps (I have a network monitor running). If I download two files at once (say 2 Azure test blobs at once) each gets around 18Mbps and my total download is 34-36. If I use a download manager to split the file in parts, or Steam to download games, or open up 10 youtube links at once I can hit my provider cap of 250Mbps. I have a wireless network connected off of the modem (separate router) and two laptops on there can get the full speed for the same Azure blob file (takes just a couple of seconds vs a minute).
Summary/things tested:
Different browsers (Chrome and Firefox have same results)
Other machines connected can download at full speed
I turned off every running program and process I could, did not fix.
Restarted Modem/PC
Updated NIC driver
Multiple sites (azure test blob, dropbox, google drive downloads, random others)
Temporarily turning off AV/real time scanning/etc
(This may have coincided around the time I went through some windows updates to get GamePass and such working, but I don't want to say that cause as I don't remember exactly when it started. Nor do I want to blame my ISP before I see if anyone here may have heard or seen of this).
This specific issue is a hard one to search for, so wondering if this rings any bells for people here.
