Windows 10: I tried to fix slow downloads and made everything worse

I've been seeing really slow upload speeds on my desktop, around 1-2 Mbps. Its connected by Ethernet directly to my Xfinity router. All the other devices work amazing and as expected. I did a bunch of random fixes to see if I could boost it. I didn't boost my upload, but I managed to get my download speeds from 100 Mbps to around 450 Mbps. That was great! But it wasn't what I was looking for. I eventually tried looking to see if it was tied to my motherboard drivers and its Killer E2500 Gigabit Ethernet Controller, as other people had complained about that, but it turns out that was a differen

Another Slow Internet Download Problem

I've looked at previous questions about similar "slow download speed" and none of the suggested fixes has helped.

My Desktop PC on wired Ethernet has slowed to a crawl. Before January 15, 2018 my download rate average was 126.7 Mbps. Since January 15. my average download rate has been reduced to 33.6 Mbps
and sometimes much worse (~9 Mbps) using Chrome, IE or MS Edge. However,
my Wifi download and upload rates remain high on both my Samsung Galaxy S7 and two HP laptops at 50 - 120Mbps. I've been using speedtest.net (OOKLA) to measure the download speeds.

I have not changed the configuration over this time period. My PC is a stock Gateway LX6200-01 with:

• AMD Phenom 9500 Quad-Core CPU;
• Win 10Pro 1709
• 8 GB of memory; and
• Marvell Yukon 88E8071 PCI-E Gigabit Controller.

My network consists of:

• Comcast/Xfinity Cable/Voice/Internet Wifi modem
• D-Link DGS-2208 8-Port 10/100/1000 Desktop Switch

This is driving me nuts, since there web pages open really slow. Any ideas on what the problem might be and how to fix it.

Thanks
