Slow Internet Speeds On PC, But Not Any Other Device

[Jamok23]

Hey guys, I've asked this question before but the problem has now gotten worse. The internet on my PC is a LOT slower than any other device.

At the minute my PC is getting about 0.5Mbps Download and about 3Mbps Upload, regardless of whether i use wired, or wireless. I have used 3 different cat6 cables, 2 different Ethernet to mains adapters, and 3 different WiFi adapters, (one is a Belkin USB WiFi, and 2 different TP-Link WiFi cards with aerials). Every instance of testing found the same results, download fluctuates between 0.5Mbps and 2Mbps and wired between 0.5Mbps and 1Mbps. Upload speeds stay consistent but i don't have any upload heavy tasks.

My speeds have always been slower than advertised on my computer, but never this bad. I recently changed my WiFi from BT Infinity2 to regular infinity simply because i was getting no where near their 92Mbps estimated speeds, (I was getting about 13Mbps) and BT Infinity was half the price for 37Mbps.

The part that bothers me is that my phone, my wifes phone, our tablet, and her laptop, all get between 35Mbps and 37Mbps, whether wireless or wired.

Do any of you know what could be causing the issue? Thanks

Could be a faulty port on the motherboard or a corrupt driver, try reinstalling your network drivers and see if that works.

Hey buddy, thanks for your quick response, i figured it was a faulty port, so i tried a mixture of pci cards, and usb wifi adapters, in several different slots, none seemed to better the problem. As for drivers, i have literally just upgraded to windows 10 today, and all drivers are the most current :/ sorry dude

I've heard of a lot of people complain about AMD Quick stream causing the same problems you are having, might be worth checking out if there is an Nvidia equivalent since I noticed you are running a 680.

are you using VPN? If you do that is reducing your speed. turn it off

Beyond Names: Im not entirely sure what AMD quick streaming is haha, sorry, but i dont stream anything (if thats what it is).

Long___T123: I dont use any VPNs but thank you for your reply

Did some research on your problem and most people just seem to have a virus, guessing you already ran a virus scan. You could check out these http://www.techspot.com/community/topics/internet-speed-painfully-slow-other-computers-in-house-are-much-faster.175505/

I know you may hate to do this. But use it as a last resort. reboot a clean windows 10

AMD quick stream regulates the internet usage of some programs, really have no idea if there is an nvidia equivalent but still might be worth checking out.

Beyond Names: Thank you for your research, but ive ran avg, malware bytes, and advanced system care malware fighter :/

Long__T123: i will keep it in mind, but it was also doing it on windows 8.1 before i ran a clean install of windows 10, so i dont think its the operating system. However as i said, i will keep it in mind.

Have you tried /flushdns ?

 

[Jamok23]

skip029: yeah i have tried it several times, but no luck. I've contacted BT and they are sending me out a new router, even though i told them that i have tried 2 other routers and its the same problem :/ this has been going on for 4 years, but its never been this bad
