Phone LTE fast, but the computer it's tethered to is slow?



Ok, so I have T-Mobile unlimited data in Las Vegas and for the most part, LTE is very strong here.

I normally use Cox internet but I'm usually late with my payment and right now I'm shut off so I use my phone to tether. It's weird, the signal is strong all around the Las Vegas valley, but specifically at my house it's hit or miss. They said I wasn't being throttled, but I can go up the street and get fast speeds like 15+mbps down.

I haven't been tethering in a while lately (only a week) because I had my home internet on for 4 months, but now it's disconnected again. But tonight for the first time I noticed that when I run a speedtest on my phone, I'm getting fast speeds, like 10Mbps + down. I go to youtube on my phone, and no issues. No buffering.

However, I have wireless tether setup, and have tried tethering via USB. I have an android OS user agent switcher on my browser (though before this made no difference) and for some reason my connection is like dial up. Actually like worse. I can't even run a speedtest on my PC. Pages load, but it's slow as hell.

Why would my phone internet be blazing fast but my tethered PC is slow as a snail? This just started happening tonight
