This began about two days ago after two years using my Gaming PC. All my browsers are running sluggishly! My system is hardwired and connected via Verizon FioS Gigabit. When I attempt to play a YouTube video, it keeps buffering endlessly, preventing any viewing. Everything loads at 144p and still struggles with buffering. Streaming on Twitch works perfectly without interruptions or lag. However, YouTube and my email are experiencing significant slowdowns recently. I checked my connection on my laptop—it runs smoothly for YouTube and other tasks. No buffering there, yet my main PC is acting unusually sluggish. I’ve taken a screenshot of my YouTube stats for you, in case it helps.

You're experiencing the same problems again. Your internet is fast overall, but certain websites load very slowly or not at all. It started after your recent trip and when using a wired connection, while Wi-Fi still works fine. I've tried reinstalling Windows and network drivers, but it hasn't resolved the issue.

I’ve got a fix for the mines issue. I reinstalled Windows and cleared everything on your PC, but the problem still lingers. Let me know what you think.

I stayed away from purchasing a Wi-Fi card and opted for Ethernet instead.
