A week ago I noticed a drop in internet speeds on my desktop.
I thought it was a problem with Time Warner, so I got a technician to check it out. When he came, it became apparent that the issue was with my computer specifically as the using the same ethernet cord yielded 100+ Mbps on my laptop but around 30 Mbps on my desktop. He offered no solution other than messing with my firewall. I didn't think this was the issue, but I disabled my firewall to check with no avail. I've done everything else I could think of including:
flushing DNS
changing to google DNS
malwarebytes scan
antivirus scan
updating bios/ethernet drivers
restarting the modem and my computer
installing a network card
The fact that this problem arose seemingly randomly has me baffled. My build is only a year old and pretty decent so it shouldn't be a hardware problem (confirmed by the network card?). Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
