New mobo; terrible download speeds

Hi all,

So my old motherboard broke recently and I went to get a new one, decided to get with a whole new mobo/CPU since the original ones were getting up there in age, and when I got everything set up, wiped the hard drive and did a fresh install everything seemed to work great... till I tried to download anything, at all.

I have great connection speeds for just visiting websites, everything posts quickly and running searches on google is as fast as it always is, but when I go to download something, say Avast! Antivirus, the download speed just isn't there. (I've been trying to download it now for the past 20 minutes and it's just hanging there).

So far I've...

Uninstalled the network adapter drivers and reinstalled with ones directly from the manufacturer
Reset the CMOS
*Attempted* to try and use an optimization tool from Speedguide.net

Lastly, I dug up an old wireless adapter that I had laying about (Netgear N-300 WNA3100), disabled the internal ethernet adapter, and relied solely on the Netgear one, and still was grabbing the same speeds for downloads.

Yes, I've power cycled the router and modem (Verizon FiOS), and directly hooked my computer into the Verizon device, same issue. I thought it may be an issue with the gear till I tested other computers on both the router I use and the Verizon tech and none of them have the issues I've been running into.

I've wiped my computer down three times in hopes that there's something in the install that's mucking up, but to no avail.

I am currently running Windows 7 64-bit

and this is my mobo:

GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD3

I'm at my wits end with this and really can't think of too many other things. Thoughts?

Do you have something like a data plan with verizon? Verizon is a very shady company that does weird crap with their data network. For the most part if you overuse the amount that they have set for you your 4g lte will throttle down to 2g or 3g speeds.

No, this isn't about their LTE/4G internet, this is their FiOS service, and all of my other computers work just fine on the service.

Can't get to Speedtest because it requires a flash download which just isn't happening. Other computer says I'm pulling 30 down.

Everything's set according to that guild already. It's all set to automatically acquire.

Run these command in Command Prompt windows (Start > Run > type cmd). Make sure you run it as local admin account.
netsh advfirewall reset
netsh branchcache reset
netsh int ip reset
netsh winsock reset

None. I use the Verizon device primarily as a modem. All other devices connect through the Netgear device.

Would you be able to download it on another computer that has good internet? I'm just saying this because if it still doesn't work when you run it off of a live iso and if the speed is still bad that normally means a hardware issue
