So I built my gaming pc about a year and a half ago, and my download speeds were correct (im paying for 100Mbit, and I was getting around 95Mbit). But now, all of a sudden my speeds have dropped to as low as 5Mbit, and in some cases as low as 2Mbit.
Strangely, dispite this being the best PC in the house, its also the only PC having issues. I have another wired PC downloading at 102Mbit most of the time, and even my wireless devices getting up to 40/50mbit.
I've done the usual checked the driver settings and all is correct, reinstalled drivers even and still no effect, The cable isn't to blame as i've tried multiple cables (including the one my second pc is using) and still no difference. There are no settings in the router that have any effect, even tried setting a static IP and activating a DMZ containing it. I eventually put it down to the Network card being debunk, so i replaced it and was getting speeds of 107 to 110Mbit all day, untill this afternoon where i returned from work to find my speeds have dropped back to 5Mbit, im at a loss with this one, any help would be greatly appreciated
