Hi I'm having tremendous difficulty receiving a decent download speed on my custom built computer of 2 yrs. My older laptop and my gaming consoles seem to be perfect and can get around 400kbps speed. My internet is 4.0Mbps. My computer is only getting like 50-150kbps. I have an Asus P8z77v-lk with a gigabyte Ethernet port. In order to correct this issue I have:
Ran MSE and malwarebytes, everything is perfect
Deleted internet cookies
Ran speedtests in and out of safe mode with no results
tried different Ethernet cables
Used wired connections on other devices and appears that it's my main computer that is problem and wifi is fine and wired on other devices
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
 
What does your connection speed say on your desktop? I am wondering if it is connecting correctly. Like maybe it is connecting at 10Mbit half duplex or something. If the connection looks good I would try to upgrade the drivers on the network card.

I downloaded the driver and the utility it made no difference at all but thank you I had to update anyway. When I first started the computer the internet was fine but after about 15-20min internet went back to being slow....what does this mean??
