Why does my internet not work when downloading big files?

[michaelshawjr99]

When I am downloading files and they get to around 8MB/s, I have to throttle the connection down to at least 6MB/s in order to do anything else online, even regular web pages take soo long to load them it is not even usable. After all that though, I can do a speed test and it says I get around 118MB/s so what gives? Thanks in advance!

Are you sure it's megabytes? That's about a 1Gbs connection.

118Mbs is around 14MBs.

Try your downloads straight from the modem. To see if it's equipment on your side not keeping up.
