    I'm in a pickle. My PC's connection speeds suddenly dropped early this week. I used to get ~400mbps down (Ookla, Google speed test would put it at 200) and now I get 170 (Ookla, Google has it at 10). I tried hardwiring and there is no change. All other devices on the network get the higher...

    Internet is fine on laptop, but slow on new PC

    So after a lot of blood, sweat and tears I finally managed to get my PC up and going. For some reason, it didn't have wi-fi so I just used an ethernet connection. The ethernet connection worked fine, and I was getting my usual 300-500 kbps (not much, but it's all we have in the middle of...
