Im in Ohio for the weekend and using Time warner internet on my rig, seems like only my computer is being throttled hardcore, like .7mb/s while my phone gets 14+mb/s and the mac gets ~16mb/s sometimes if i disconnect and reconnect i get better speeds for a little while then it throttles me down especially on youtube. anyone know if theres any way i can fix this?

Sounds like you need to look into what is going on in the background on your PC, search for viruses and malware.
 
I don't know what exactly, but Skype on my PC was making everything slow, clicking on tabs and everything on my browser and loading in general. I removed it from my PC, now everything is back to normal.

Not sure what Time Warner will be able to do when you're getting slow speeds on only one device. If you are being throttled, it's most likely by the router or something got onto your PC.

using an apple branded router :-/

drove back up to michigan and just set my system back up. everything working like normal... strange the connection down there was either 16 or 20mb/s and slower than my crap bright house 6mb/s...

Time Warner has a throttling service called Turbo Boost. I have Roadrunner Turbo and the standard connection is like 15Mbps down but it will swing upwards of 20-25Mbps down in bursts for things like downloads. It's totally normal.

in ohio i was pretty much limited to .7mb/s on a 16 or 20mb/s line at home i am stuck at 6mb/s always sometimes it sneaks up to 6.1mb/s

When I was doing DSL support for small businesses, I found those Apple Air Port routers to be pretty solid. Their interface has a little bit of a learning curve IMO, but it was able to do a lot of things my Linksys routers couldn't with their stock firmware.

 
That sounds like the opposite of what  a apple product should do.
 
I have yet to get my hands on a apple router to test one out, So far it has just been Linksys, Belkin, And ASUS. In that order.
