still learning about how kubuntu works, but every time I connect the internet works for a little bit and then just drops to 0 and only comes back when I restart the laptop

What hardware have you installed Kubuntu onto, especially the network adapter.

To get the name/brand of network adapters, run:
sudo lshw -c network

this fix seems to be more guided towards the moden and it also asks for a WPA2-AES security which is not an option on my modem, also I have had this problem on other networks, I have tried disabling power saving now so we'll see how that goes
