So over the past couple of weeks, the internet on my home PC has just gone totally haywire. The main issue is just incredibly slow speeds when streaming videos (youtube, twitch, even embedded videos from twitter and FB) but there are other issues too. I have 2 GMAIL accounts, and its often VERY slow loading them. It constantly freezes (especially when I try to switch from one to the other) and when I delete emails, they come back. (no issue if I delete from my phone)
I've been using Firefox as my browser for years and never had an issue. I've experimented with Chrome in the last week or so, which seems to help a LITTLE. But its only a temporary fix at times and youtube videos still often go to the lowest possible quality or just straight up freeze. The gmail issues persist. Gaming seems to be a little sluggish as well
I've got a 1GB speed wired connection from Verizon fios. I've run several speed tests and DL speed is usually north of 850MB but ocassionally it will show much slower (just ran one that topped out at 450) The PC in question is hard connected to the router. I've tried re-setting the router, changing to a different port, resetting the actual modem out in the garage, no help. Nothing pops up on virus/malware scan.
Other devices have been hit or miss. Streaming on my xbox via prime video, netflix or paramount plus seems fine. My work connection (WIFI via the same router) has been ok. Its really just the PC (as far as I can tell)
Any suggestions here? I build my own PCs so I'm pretty decent with this stuff, but I'd be surprised if its a hardware issue specific to that. Wondering if Verizon is just throttling my connection for some reason.
