Windows 10: Download speeds in browser is slow

I don't know how better to title my post, but download speeds in any browser on my main PC are very slow. First off, my specs:

HP Envy 700-059cb
Windows 10 (whatever the latest version is for inside preview)
8gb ram
i7 4770

My home network is powered by a Rogers Ignite dual-band wifi modem/router on a 70mb hybrid fiber internet connection. When I connect my desktop PC (the one listed in the specs) to my 5ghz wifi network and run a speed test at speedtest.net, my system usually only gets around 27mb per second. This is less than half of what I feel it should be getting. For example, my little Lenovo Yoga 2 11 also running Windows 10 insider preview when connected to my 2.4ghz network will get roughly 43-45 mb per second while in the same room as my desktop PC. I also have 2 Android devices both connected to the 2.4ghz network which also get around 45mb per second at speedtest. For clarity, when I connect my desktop PC to the 2.4ghz network and do a test on speedtest, my rated download speed drops to less than 20 mb per second. This issue started early in the year and I've been struggling to find a solution since then. I've tried different configurations in the modem/router, different drivers, turning firewall off and on, none of which has helped. Strangely, when I download large well-seeded torrents, my desktop PC will max out at about 8.5-9 MB (megabytes) per second, which is about 70-75 mb (megabits) per second, right around the limit of my internet connection which to me indicates my slow download speeds in browsers isn't a systemwide problem. I've run out of things I can think of to check to solve my problem, can anyone here help me?

Edge browser slow internet download speeds compared to other browsers. (speedtest)

I have been having slow internet speeds when using the Edge browser. Speedtest.net
confirms issue with Edge. See the screenshots. Other browsers like Chrome, gives me full download speeds, but Edge speeds are very slow.

I have Win10 with Anniversary Update and latest windows updates applied.

Win 10 Pro build 14393.187

Anyone else see this issue and is there a fix for Edge browser?
