I have been meaning to post this for a while.
After migrating to FTTH last year and doing zillions of speed tests as I think we all do when we suddenly have a fast line I noticed something very odd. Local speed tests will show full speed both down and up where international speed tests would reflect a bit different which is understandable. What was odd is that my laptop on wifi was getting consistently better speed test results than my desktop on a wired connection.
I did everything I could think of going as far as buying a USB3 Gigabit adapter to see if the desktops own adapter was somehow faulty. Nothing helped. I was on the point of doing a clean Win 7 installation.
I have never and will never recommend any of these magical “Speed up your pc” or “Speed up your internet” proggies but came across a TCP Optimizer which is extremely well documented explaining what the settings actually do.
Documentation is here: https://www.speedguide.net/articles/tcp-optimizer-4-documentation-windows-7-8-10-2012-5821#quick
Proggie can be downloaded here: https://www.speedguide.net/downloads.php
There are options of saving your current settings so you can always fall back on your old settings.
It worked for me.
