Charly - Did the problem of speed appear recently?, or after a certain Windows update, or Edge browser update(that came a few weeks back).

This is the case since the Edge Update 84.0.552.44.
And the download was okay only with version 84.0.522.28.
Before this version I had the same problem.

@amaanr Unfortunately resetting Edge in the current browser did not help either.

I tested it with the DEV and CAN and so the download was again at 1.1 GBit. Everything okay.
With the version 84.0.522.28 the download speed works with the version 84.0.522.44 the download became slower again. If Microsoft does not investigate the problem and solve the problem, so that the problem is finally solved.
Because with version 83.0.478.56 I had the same ones as now.
Who can say that if the CAN version goes into rollout and later a version update comes, that the download problem will not come back.

Above all I have to pay attention now which Edge-Browser I use to get a good download performance.

Charly Only 84.0.522.28 was on the beta channel. I suggest you to try the Canary version since it pushes beta builds consistently. Maybe that should work.

Meanwhile, try resetting EDGE for once? Maybe some plugins/addons are acting up
