Suffering Packet loss and Throttled download after 1024MB

[Anath80]

Hello,

My connection has two problems (all tests conducted on wired ethernet):

1 - concerning packet loss

I'm frequently disconnected during online gaming, and the overall browsing experience is not really snappy.

Using WinMTR I discovered a huge amount of paquet loss

2 - Throttled downloads

Second, there is a throttling in place on my connection

The images below are screenshots of a download initiated while no previous download on the connection took place.

As you can see, download speed peaks at 30Mb/sec for the FIRST 1024MB of data that I download.

Once that amount of data had been reached - at full speed, the connection throttle down to 20Mb/sec, and won't go up ever again until the download ends, and that 3 to 5 minutes have passed.

This slow speed reduction shown above is only the result of a logarithmic scale, on another download manager, the drop is pictured differently and instant goes from 30Mb/sec -> 20MB/sec

It has always been like this, and I haven't complained about it, even though this is totally unacceptable

But since I got major packet loss too, I guess this is the time to solve two issues at once.

Thanks for your help.
