Most folk I see make that claim are reporting the speed of the PC's connection to the router and not their internet speeds. Let's hear more about your ISP.
This issue started months ago. It's something that affects Video & Audio streams on the internet : youtube & facebook videos only load for 5-10 seconds then freeze/buffer endlessly.
Thought it was a Software issue , so I tried to fix it myself : Changed browsers , Reinstalled Adobe Shockwave , Reinstalled Java , Used HTML5 , Disabled Hardware Acceleration , even Reformat Windows 7. Nothing worked , so I thought it's not a software issue.
Thought it might be an ISP issue so I changed DNS server to google public DNS. Not an ISP issue. (Note : My internet speed is 1000Mb/s , not slow connection problem !)
Thought the problem might be my router , but devices on Wi-Fi don't have this issue , and I also connected my laptop to my router (LAN) and it doesn't have this issue either. It's not my router.
Then it was pretty clear ... it's a hardware issue , or so I think. My question is : What hardware piece could be causing this issue , so I know to replace it ? I suspect it's the Motherboard.
Note : Had this issue for months , too lazy to fix it. Last month it fixed by itself somehow , but came back yesterday.
