New Computer internet problems

windows 8 changed the default DNS lookup to use TCP/ IPv6 rather thanTCP/ IPv4
This should not help but you might give it a try:
on your computer: disable IPV6 protocol bindings to your net adapter
go to control panel->network and internet-> network and sharing center
select change adapter settings, select your adapter, hit the alt key to bring up hidden menus
select advanced menu then advanced settings.
you should see a dialog box with adapters and bindings. uncheck Internet protocol version 6(tcp/IPv6)
select ok.
I would then reboot my router and flush my DNS cache
start cmd.exe as a admin (windows key +x, then type a)
ipconfig.exe /flushdns
reboot and power on router.
Now I would not expect this to have any effect unless there was a issue with DNS lookups using IPV6, the Issue can be in your netcard driver, your router or your IPS and should only effect the time to resolve names.
The next thing I would do is reset the TCPIP auto tuning that is being performed on windows and see if that fixes the issue. (i will see if i can locate instructions for that)

most ip guys will just unplug your cable modem from power, and the actual cable or hit the reset button and see if the problem goes away. Unplugging of the cable will force the cable company software to resend its config data to your cable modem. Unplugging the cable modem from power will clear some locally cached data that might be wrong.
They just need to prove it is not their problem. If they are nice they might even plug your Ethernet cable directly from your machine into your cable Ethernet and bypass your router. if the issue goes away, it is a router problem. (can be other problems, like cloud software using the bandwidth to copy files up to the cloud as a background process)

lots of background processes going on all the time. Your machine will not be able to detect other machines network activity on a normal switch or router unless you have a monitor port (not likely unless your went out of your way to get one) So you eliminate that by unplugging the router, and just put your machine directly into the cable modem ethernet connection. Now you only have your network traffic and you can see the process on your machine that uses network traffic (cntrl+ alt +del and start task manager, select performance tab
on the bottom of the screen is open resource monitor (run it) Select the network tab and you can see what processes and programs on your machine that are running network traffic.
if you have other machine on the same network connected to the same router or hub people think that they are idle but I have found that when my wife uploads a bunch of photos to her cloud storage, they are queued up and use most of the network bandwith until they are done(stupid program). (my connection gets 20 second delays and I can not play a game until her photos are copied up, even though she thinks it only took a second to copy them. In reality it only took a second to copy them to the queue to be copied and it takes two actual hours at full bandwidth to do the actual copy to the cloud)
