I recently upgraded my broadband and set up an Ethernet connection. Initially, I was enjoying consistent download speeds of around 100mb/s on both Steam and Epic Games. However, today I've noticed that my download speed keeps fluctuating between 0 and 90. When I run a speed test online, it still shows I'm getting the expected speeds, but my actual download speeds are nowhere near what they used to be. What could be going on?

Have you tried resetting your modem or router? Sometimes a quick reboot can solve weird connectivity issues.
What site are you downloading from? Sometimes the problem could be on the server side if it's particular to a certain platform.
What type of broadband do you have? Knowing the provider and plan can help shed some light on any potential issues.
I have a 1gb download plan from Vodafone.
I’m downloading from Steam and the Epic Games launcher. But I also checked with Ookla for speed tests.
