Hi there guys,

My Mid 2014 M.Pro has very low internet speeds, max of about 10mb but generally less than 5mb.
Other devices in the household such as a desktop pc, iPad, iPhone etc. receive around 80-90mb download speed (100mb broadband plan)

I know that this might be an issue with my Macbook, but whats also weird is that whenever i try to stream or download something on my Macbook, the speed goes down to the 5-10mb on every other device even though downloading a file shows a speed of about 500kb per second- this does not happen vice versa.

Any help would be much appreciated :)

El Capitan 10.11.2

try moving your macbook closer to your router and see if that fixes it

Wow can't believe I forgot about this, my apologises. I figured out it was the OS nothing with the router, I simply went back to Yosemite for a while then installed El Capitan with all the new updates and everything was fixed again :) seems like Apple picked me out as a test subject to try out one of their network bugs :na:
