Internet is suddenly slow

This issue started about a week ago. Now, browsing the web is painfully slow on any browser i use (yes, even on internet explorer), especially youtube videos. It takes about 15 seconds to load a 144p video. It also happens on web-based programs, like Spotify. Note that the issue is only happening on browsers, because online games are fine (30-50 ping on new york/chicago servers), which is strange.

Didn't installed any shady stuffs recently. Flushed the DNS cache, did multiple scans with CCleaner, multiple anti-virus programs, ADWCleaner, reinstalled all browsers, looked up on the internet for my problem, no success. When no one in my house is using internet except me, it's still happening.

I'm out of solution, any help would be appreciated, thanks!

maybe you have too many apps running on your browser(bing bar, skype etc)and its slowing down your internet?
do you have any problems downloading files?

Probably means something's wrong with your particular ports related to browser usage

One thing you could do to narrow it down would be to check your down/up speeds (using speedtest.net or something similar) to make sure it's not just youtube being weird. Sounds like its just a problem with your isp but it could be something else.
