Hello.
My speeds when downloading, streaming video, even just loading simple pages, have become terribly as of late - with downloading at just a handful of KB per second usually. Regardless of browser used (I have tried primarily Firefox and Chrome), speeds have become really bad. This probably began about two weeks ago or so.
Mind you, my actual internet speed anytime I measure it is consistently good (consistently over 110 Mbps down and 12 up, which is actually a bit more than I pay for). In fact right now I'm attempting to grab a malware program in the background - I'm getting 10.1 KBs, ridiculous, though my speeds reflect the numbers I just quoted. I did a speed test as I was downloading and got those numbers. Yet the download itself is only KBs per second.
The simplest YouTube video or stream (any source) stutters, loads, plays a bit, loads, etc. The smallest of downloads (say, a Minecraft mod that is only a few dozen mbs) takes several minutes, if it doesn't fail completely, when something ten times as large would have taken seconds recently.
I have cleared the browsers history, cache, etc, gotten rid of all extensions, and finally completely uninstalled and started fresh (with both Chrome and Firefox). No change.
I've run AdAware, Avast, CCleaner, Malware Bytes, Bit Defender, possibly others I'm forgetting just now?...nothing I've run has found *anything* suspicious.
Any idea what has gone wrong, I'd appreciate the help! Thx
