yup, if you want to look at it from a different point of view ask yourself this: how or why is your internet connection affecting the communication between two devices on your lan? The answer is it can't which means something else is causing it and as Igni pointed out, the common denominator is your pc.

Apart from being an issue with your nic, you might want to investigate other issues such as if there are any services in the background which might be affecting performance. If all else fails restart your pc in safe mode and run a speedtest and see if you notice any difference.

A little story for you: I bought a new pc last June which has got an MSI motherboard. There is an app for the network card which comes bundled with the driver which allows you to change various settings including setting maximum bandwidth usage. This feature was already enabled and is set 100mbits default. It took me two days to work out (not continuously) to work out why I couldn't get more than 100mbits on my 152mbit connection no matter what I downloaded or where from.
