i should be getting around 150mbps and I usually do, but been having a issue lately where I’m getting extremely low speeds of 24kbps not able to load anything on the internet, this is no issue with the home wifi and seems that it’s only my pc’s Ethernet connection that is like this, I have run Windows network trouble shooters and nothing comes up.

Have you confirmed that the cable and router/switch port is good with another device that has a NIC port?

Have you uninstalled and re-installed your PC's NIC? Go to Device Manager and remove the NIC, keep the drivers on the first attempt, just uninstall the device in device manager...then reboot.

I just fixed a PC with a similar issue today on-site for a client, and that's what fixed it. They were on Windows 10 Pro. It came off the cuff of a Digium phone locking up and no longer passing traffic through, itself requiring a reboot to get back to an operational status. Once that was fixed, the PC's NIC was still having issues, and that's when I uninstalled it from device manager.

I had tried disable/re-enable, static IP config, DHCP config, Windows Diag (meh), physical connection, different cable and switch ports. Also used my laptop to test the NIC pass through on the phone, found no other issues other than the NIC on the PC.

Reset router, change cords, ports, try different devices, if they all show slow you could verywell have a bad router.

unplug the Ethernet cable from my pc and wait 5 seconds and plug it back in it seems to help and I’m able to load stuff but soon goes back to being slow

Does that make em slow though? Note that OP has a network connection, so the cable ain't faulty.

It may be worthwhile to put a separate router/access point behind your modem to manage connections. Cheap routers don't handle traffic too well which can cause all sorts of issues. Right now I have to access internet through VPNs at home for work, and ever since, my crappy ISP router is struggling. If rebooting your router fixes the problems, you can exclude the cabling and just need better traffic handling.

I have a router and modem, this issue seems to arise when pc starts, I then unplug the cable and then plug it back in it works kind of

Sorry, do you know why when I’m getting such slow speeds and I disable the adapter or unplug the cable and put it back in or re-enable the adapter it fixes the speed ?

Sounds like a bad port(s) on the router or even on the PC it's self, you could try plugging the PC directly in to the modem and see if it works right then or not.

Could very well be the cable. I did one time run into almost this same condition - network speeds would slow to a crawl or quit completely, but would resolve for a bit when unplugged/replugged, then eventually slow down again. I originally dismissed the idea of a bad cable because the switch port was showing a link and Windows was showing a connection. Replacing the cable fixed the problem - after spending hours looking for other reasons.

Give that a try just for shiggles.

I’ve tried other cables and I get the same issue, I’ve tried different ports on the modem/router and still same issue

^ This makes your rig suspect for malware. Better give it a thorough sweep.

Another troubleshooting attempt is to reset your router, disconnect everything except your own rig, and watch performance like that. NOTE: make sure your WIFI is disabled as well.

If its stable, refer to my earlier post about traffic handling and a separate router to facilitate that. If you go that route, you connect router to modem with a single ethernet cable and connect the rest to the router. Do get a good one then or its pointless :)

process of elimination, how ever i did miss the above post.

So if you have hard wired another PC to the router and it was fine then the problem seems like it's the PC, and @Vayra86 could be very much right.

Maybe the system does have malware\virus or some thing that takes a little time to kick in when you connect the PC.
