I'm experiencing really slow internet speeds. My 800 megabit Fios connection has been stable for a while, but recently it's become inconsistent. The issue seems to be specific to my desktop—other devices work fine and speed tests show solid performance. I'm using Windows 10 with an i7 processor, 6700 MHz, 64GB RAM, an SSD, and an RTX graphics card. My motherboard is a G1 Sniper Z170 with built-in gigabit Ethernet. It was functioning well until this weekend when the problems began. Despite speed tests indicating full potential, actual speeds are around 56k. I've tried everything: changing network settings, checking drivers, uninstalling and reinstalling drivers, adjusting network adapter properties, using different Ethernet cables, even switching to Wi-Fi on my laptop. Still no improvement. It's frustrating because the setup hasn't changed and nothing seems to resolve it.

@mrcoolbp This is very odd behaviour indeed. Some other questions to answer: Which web browser are you using? Do you have a lot of extensions active? Try uninstalling the browser and reinstalling from fresh. Don’t install any non-essential extensions and see how it behaves. Check to make sure that your system time is correct for your region of the world and is synchronized to a time server. If you have access to a Linux live distribution (e.g. Ubuntu, Linux Mint, etc), try booting to it and see if any of the odd behaviour can be replicated. If it can’t, then that’s pointing to something odd with your Windows installation, which you can attempt repair from the advanced startup options. But if that doesn’t work, start backing up your important stuff and prepare for a fresh reinstallation.

I support the suggestion from Falcon1986. You might explore a live session using a Linux distribution, or a live setup from GhostBSD should feel straightforward like checking a Linux environment. Based on my observations, BSD systems tend to perform better in CSS, JavaScript, and network latency compared to Windows and Linux. Over recent days, I've been evaluating FreeBSD's JetStream 2.0 against Windows 11 and various Linux distros, using the R5 PRO 3400G quad-core at 3.7GHz. The results were:

Windows 11 + Chrome: 117.022
Windows 11 + Edge: 126.426
Lubuntu or Fedora + Chrome: +-104
Lubuntu or Fedora + Chrome (second attempt): +-132.89
Solus + Brave: +-127.746
Solus + Brave: +-140.095
GhostBSD + Brave: +-132.638
GhostBSD + Brave: +-149.107
