Fibre optic internet downloading slow?

Ryan Gollins · Mar 4, 2017

I have fibre optic internet and if I speed test on my pc i get about 36mbps, normally the internet is really good, but the past couple of days whenever I download something the internet drops * low, like I'm trying to download the sims 4 for my girlfriend, which is an 11gb download and its saying it going to take 14-23 hours, and when I speed test while its downloading it drops to 1.8mbps please help its doing my nut in.
I'm with talktalk and my computers specs are

AMD FX-8350
GIGABYTE GA-990X
8gb 1866mhz HyperX Fury
EVGA GTX 750
Corsair CX-600
500gb Seagate hard drive

<Language, please. Thanks>

if this is the case then the problem can be pointed to your computer so it's possibly your USB wifi dongle
