slow internet with windows 8.1 updated iso

When I installed my internet drivers for Windows 8.1, I noticed the internet was terribly slow but I was reaching over 200mbps download speed. I couldn't watch a youtube video without it taking it a while for it to load and it constantly buffering. This also happened to any other website I try to go to as it takes much longer than it should to load. Am I missing something? Do I need a better driver or is the ISO messed up for me?

What are you calling "internet drivers" ? The drivers for your network card ?
And what is this updated ISO ?

And if this is a recent install, are "updates" downloading in the background?
I don't remember if 8.1 does this, but make sure that "Delivery Optimization" is DISABLED.

What browser are you using? The BROWSER could be your bottleneck.
