Internet speed being limited on pc

Jack Kaye Pc Gamer

Just bought and installed yesterday a new mobo and cpu(Msi Z97 Gaming 5 and a I5 4690K) and everything was working fine yesterday and earlier today. I had been downloading six siege earlier but paused it(at this time internet was working fine at 4.5 megabytes per second/36 megabit per second but went back to download load it just now and its going at 1.2 megabytes per second/ 9 mega bit, so i went onto speedtest and that confirms its being limited to 9.5 megabits per second. Restarted my pc but no difference made, also checked killer network manager as need that for ethernet port to work but that says under ips speed that both up and down are set to 1500 mbs. Anyone know why this is happening as in between the downloads i have changed nothing as i have been on bf1.

you want a program over your lan at full speed. Do you have a file server of a network speed test like iperf. That is only showing the current link speed. With a 9.5mb speed you might has a 10mb link, and they can sometims switch between 10mb and 100mbiy.

I have no idea from what i see. Its either your router or your isp at this point. You router might be limiting devices that use too much bandwidth, or your isp is throttling services that use too much data.
