Internet slows to a crawl when I launch Dark Souls

Virtual01

Every time I launch Dark Souls (through Steam), my internet immediately slows to a crawl and does not recover unless I restart my PC. This not only makes it tough to play the online parts of the game, it also eliminates my ability to alt-tab and do anything.

 

Any idea why this might be happening? This only happens with Dark Souls to my knowledge, other games that have a continuous online connection don't cause this problem.

Dark Souls had way more problems than that so it's probably dark souls causing that too.

Adds to the rage inducing experience that is Dark Souls.
