I have this issue with my LAN Port.

Here's the thing

1 - Comp Connected to Router (Wired) = Internet Speed spikes + Very low to No Upload Speed
2 - Comp Connected to Router (Wired) On Safe Mode = Normal internet Speed
3 - Comp Connected to Router (Wirelessly with my phone as tether) = Normal Internet Speed
4 - Comp Connected to Router (Wired clean startup with only the essentials) = Still bad internet

It's quite weird though, seeing as there's no problem with the connection on safe mode and wirelessly so it's kind of weird with it being wired, I don't know where to check since it doesn't seem to be a problem with my ISP or the router since my laptop, and phone when connected to the router wired and wirelessly, are fine.

I recently updated my LAN but its still the same though :v

Do I update the motherboard as well?

My Specs:
CPU: Intel i7 4790
GPU: Strix GTX 960
Mobo: Asus B85 PRO GAMER
LAN Driver: Intel (R) Ethernet Connection I217-V

Just like killer networks intel has started to provide stupid software so they can call their nics "GAMER". This type of software causes all kinds of strange issues.

You need to disable and if possible uninstall the "gamers first" software. I am not sure if the drivers are like the killer ones and you need to install generic ones or not.

Even in their product description on asus site is says "reduces lag during heavy download" and show a savings of 3ms? What type of fool that want maximum performance on his machine during games downs huge amounts of data.

I'm almost certain it's a LAN driver issue as in Safe Mode the LAN adapter is using the Intel driver that's built in to Windows, hence it works okay. In normal mode, the driver used will be the one you installed yourself, and that may be old or the wrong one.

Try the latest Intel Gigabit LAN driver from the motherboard manufacturer:

Note: I have assumed you are using the on-board LAN adapter, not an add-on PCI/PCI-E NIC.

When it comes to wired connections to a router Sash.

Each computer is dependant on two things, the type and rated cable used for each wired connection from the client computer to the router it`s self.

And also the length of each cable run.

The quality of each Ethernet cable you use can vary.
It is important each is of the same cable, and speed rating.
You should try to keep all of the cables you use at the same rating such as 5e rated category cble or all 6e rated cable.

The cable length of each should be no more than 100m in length or a maximum of 300 ft each.
If you have to run the cables next to other cables in the house, such as any power cables keep the Ethernet cable parallel with the power cable run, and try not to cross over the cable at any point.

For each computer or client that connects via a wired connection to the router.
Find out what the maximum speed each adaptor can be set to.
And also what the maximum network speed the router and the Ethernet ports of it will work at.

What ever is the lowest speed one of your client machines can be set to for Ethernet wired speed transmission.
And the router can also reach in speed.

Manually set the lowest speed for all of the Ethernet adaptors on the connecting computers via a wired connection.

Set each adaptor also to full duplex mode in the settings for the adaptors on each machine, or client.

Do this only for the wired side of the network you have set up.

All my cables are CAT 5e, and they all have the same length of 2 meters. The router is near my desktop so there really isnt an issue with the Cable. I've set every thing for my adaptors to be on par with my router, I have no issues here.
