Windows 10 (/thread-5553.html)RE: Windows 10 - DerVVulfman - 02-19-2017
I have neither Windows 10 nor high-speed internet. However, the previous posts just before your posts were about the annoyances of Windows 10 updates slowing down one's connections and how to handle them. It may prove to be a good instructional read as it could be that the updates themselves could be taking over your connection.

No, I doubt it has any connection to the updates, my computer does fine with those.

Have you tried contacting your ISP to find out if it's a problem with your line?

Can you connect with another device and see if it's behaving the same way?
If it is, there's a problem with your router or phone line.
If it isn't then it is indeed a problem with your device.
Laptop or desktop?
First, try connecting via ethernet cable. Does it behave the same way?
If yes, then it's your wifi card. If not, then...
Next step, try updating all your drivers.
Finally, consider googling your problem too, using key words such as the brand/model of your laptop/computer, wifi card information etc.

I tried googling this and absolutely nothing comes up. I haven't updated my drivers and I don't think it will help anything.

Are you using other devices on wifi? WiFi is excessively backwards compatible- your wireless connection will run as fast as the device with the slowest/oldest radio in the house. Sony PSPs, Nintendo DS (not 3DS), older PDAs and computers...etc.

But this has nothing to do with connection speed but with my internet not working at all (despite saying it is connected and displaying the same internet speed as when it works). It has some correlation with ping as whenever it stops working so does my ability to receive my packets when I ping 8.8.8.8

Well if you're not willing to try what I suggest, then what's the point in me taking time to help you? :)
Have you tried it yet? Sure, it might not work, but you need to eliminate every possibility.
