I've been experiencing a slow internet connection for the past couple of days.
Using torrents to measure the speed, it has gone from about 400 kB/s to about 50 kB/s.
I've already checked all "slow internet connection" posts I could find on this site, but none of them help me because I believe I've already discarded all posibilities described in the answers to those questions. Here's what I was able to verify:
- It's not a wireless problem. It happens on a laptop that's connected via wire to my router, which is connected via wire to my modem, which is connected via wire to the phone line.
- It's not a device-specific problem. It happens on multiple devices connected to the network, wire or not.
- It's not a router problem. Transfering a file via LAN is very fast (~1 MB/s+).
- It's not a program stealing all the bandwidth. I disable wireless on my router, connect only my laptop via wire, and verify no sketchy program is accessing the internet with GlassWire, the problem still persists.
speedtest.net says ping of 238ms, upload of 0.59 Mbps, and download of 0.35 Mbps.
All I can think of now is that my ISP is screwing with me.
What can I do to further debug or fix this problem?
Here's a pathping
output:

Honestly doesn't seem very insightful (maybe I should run with certain flag?) so here's a tracert
as well:
