Low, inconsistent internet Speed

Hey everyone, for the last 2 weeks my internet speed has been UNBEARABLY inconsistent to the point of frustration where I just get up off the computer.  The upload speed that is supposed to be 3360 Kbps Download / 864 Kbps Upload, but lately has been terrible. 

After trouble shooting multiple times, I tired a few things

1 - Reseting Router and waiting 10 minutes

2 - Attempt to optimize speed with TCP Optimizer

3 - Moving Router location ( I am not on wireless anyway )

4 - Turning off computer and performing multiple checks to ensure NOTHING is running in the background that could possibly slow the speed

5 - Completely change wi-fi password, as well as completely disable it ( So none of my other devices recieve Wi-fi ) and directly connceting my computer to the router so I have a direct ethernet conncetion. 

I am so frustrated with my inconsistent and low speed, all suggestions are appreciated, and thank you so much in advance for your posts

here is a screenshot of my internet speed @ 1:02 AM http://www.speedtest.net/result/2075588506.png

here is a screenshot literally 1 minute after @ 1:03 http://www.speedtest.net/result/2075590348.png

Thank you
