I got a USB to Ethernet adaptor and it didn't work in fact it was worse i also tested it on the laptop and got the same poor speed so i know its the adaptor that is crap i guess the old saying you get what you pay for fits, i have now ordered a UGreen version that has a lot of positive reviews on Amazon.
I have also run a speed test on my phone which gave high 50's and when i tethered it to the PC it dropped to 12 Mbps so there is definitely something going on with this PC, i tried the network thing Bro mentioned earlier and as you can see its still acting up.
The fact i can get full speed (60+ Mbps) using the laptop on the same Ethernet cable rules out my ISP throttling its a 80/20 connection and my modem is showing 72 Mbps.
I have a feeling the new UGreen adaptor is not going to fix this though my fingers are crossed as i haven't a clue what to do next.
I would completely wipe it and start again but i don't know if i can get drivers for the motherboard etc .
