Hello,
My PC msinfo file can be found here: MSinfo Onedrive file
The issue I'm having is:
My PC is located in the same room as my brothers PC. He receives 200-250mbs Download and 40-50mbs upload consistently via ethernet. I noticed a lot of buffering on videos and downloads, so I checked mine, the Download is 200-250 and but the upload was at 2mbs max via ethernet. I restart the PC and it goes to 7-8mbs, but shortly after back down to 2mbs. During the test, the bar looks like it is trying to go higher but is being knocked back down.
The package we pay for is BT Business Broadband To The Property (250mbs/50mbs). I have tested the speed through the BT Router settings for our BT Smart Hub 2(S/N +091300+1920001594) and the router is receiving 250mbs/50mbs as advertised by my ISP. The modem and router both appear to be working fine and my brothers PC has no issues with internet connection dropouts/lag/buffering whatsoever.
Why would my download be fine but my upload severely restricted on only this device? I understand my issue and speeds aren't as bad as some, but it's still bugging me especially when I'll be looking to stream games in the near future.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

- I have updated the BIOS since uploading the the msinfo document, to ensure it's completely up-to-date prior to requesting help.
- I have updated all my drivers, in both device management and in Driver Repair which now reads that everything is totally up to date.
- We have tried swapping ethernet cables, same result.
- We have disabled all windows firewall or antivirus, to no effect.
- I have tried to search for any settings that may be restricting my port/prioritising my brothers PC as a main device.
- I have tried changing my IP to go through OpenDNS, this did not improve it, if anything it made it slower. I flushed DNS pre and post using OpenDNS and cleared browsing cache.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
