Internet problems!

I'm having some weird internet problems and It's starting to frustrate me. It only started a few days ago, but I've been trying to find a fix but the problem seems to bizarre I can't find it anywhere!

 

My internet seems to be running fine, It's working on other devices other than my laptop. I've got the connection plugged in with an ethernet cable to my modem. I'm getting the normal speed I get on speedtest (15mbps download speed and 1mbps upload) or speedtest times out? Loading webpages such as Facebook load fast and the usual speed I get but when trying to stream data such as on youtube or twitch.tv, It takes ages to load at even at 420p or the twitch stream takes 30 secnds to load but buffers every 10 secs or so. When I also try to download something, It doesn't start or work at all.

 

Now whenever I try to unplug and replug the ethernet, my internet will NOT reconnect and my laptop requires a restart for it to connect but with the same problems above. This also is the case when restarting my modem as well when trying to switch to a wireless connection.

 

My ISP is Sky

 

Cheers!

Try a VPN and see if they're throttling you.

I don't have any VPNs installed on my laptop and I can't download any as whenever I try download something It doesn't start or gives me an error.

 

This is also not at peak times either, I've tried it at 2 in the morning as well as around 8 in the morning and the connection still had the same problems...
