I don't want to conclude this as the answer but i doubt it's an issue in your LAN, eg. someone else downloading / a machine causing problems since we've tested with all of those off and i don't think it's your machine, eg an application causing problems as other machines are having the problem.. unless you try a laptop just by it's self eg your machine off and just the laptop to see results.

If you could download at 1.4Mb/s but are now only getting piped 0.88Mb/s you cannot download at speed more than what you're provided. As i said i don't want to pass the blame to the ISP as you don't know the speed you were previously getting and it's unlikely they'd just drop your speed. How long have you had this problem?
If you haven't already, try a laptop solo, turn your desktop off.
