The amount of data you use depends on your online activities. Communications networks use data throttling to regulate network traffic and minimize bandwidth congestion. Under Network and Internet, click Connect to the Internet. Data throttling means provider-imposed limits on the amount of data you’re able to transfer while completing activities online. In the search box, type troubleshooter, and then click Troubleshooting. I may try another exact same board and if it does it there, it's a manufacturing problem with ALL boards, not a few here or there.Good luck Open the Internet Connections troubleshooter by clicking the Start button, and then clicking Control Panel.
THROTTLED INTERNET DRIVERS
I had originally had issues with disconnects and found the cable that I was using was faulty, but it leads me to believe the NIC is flaky and to be honest, is a key reason I will be RMA'ing my board as annoying as it is to do so.Please try this for yourselves if you have a usb nic lying around so you can see for yourself, I have videos for the tech's i'll be showing over the weekend / early next week when I drop off the board, there's something not right and it aint drivers fixing it. Internet throttling is when your internet service provider (ISP) slows down your internet on purpose.

The Intel issue effects my online gaming and anything that relies on uploads, i'm sure it's also adding latency and who knows what else to the overall performance. I flick back to Intel (onboard nic), back to 29/30mbps over 10 passes, all recorded for proof of problem. The Intel I225(3) no matter which driver I use, throttles my upload to ~30mbps (should be 49mbps), when I go immediately back to the Comsol USB NIC (which incidentally is a Realtek chipset max 1gbps) I get a solid 49mbps (link is 1Gbps/50mbps) over 10 passes, rock solid, no dips, no throttling.
THROTTLED INTERNET HOW TO
For those interested i've managed to isolate the problem on a MSI edge z690 Wifi D4 board.I've been going between a comsol USB C Ethernet adaptor and the onboard Intel I225 (3) NIC and over 10 tests consecutively running internet Speed tests (Ookla) between them in a controlled manner by testing against the same ISP test link, I get the same result. But before we can take a look at solutions to a throttled internet, we must first figure out how to see if your internet is being throttled by your ISP.
