Can't unfuck my PC if i don't know where to start i'm afraid

All i know is the thing has a dislike for adapters and a preference for wires for some reason. I've tried nearly everything save a full format and i won't bother attempting that if you say my suspicions regarding throttling are very possible.
A throttled connection won't do, no sir it won't do at all...

In control panel, check under network devices and try to identify your wireless card. Make sure there aren't any other wireless drivers installed. A driver conflict between two cards can create all sorts of issues, you may have left an old driver installed since you have been trying out different cards. Remove all of them if you have to and manually set up the new one.
I assume your neighbour has set up QoS on his router to give his computer network priority. Get your own connection and set things up properly.

Thanks Obs, but i made sure to delete the drivers before attempting to install different ones, it's not that either.

Nope, already figured that might be it and installed the latest bios and chipset drivers. No joy. Fucking weird isn't it?
I'm done worrying about it since i'm getting a different connection. Too bad it'll take eleventy weeks for them to actually install it.... but ah well.
