On windows 7 pro I would have between 20-30 latency connected to the Washington, D.C. server, but now once I upgraded to windows 10 I get between 50-60 on the D.C. server.

Is there a setting I have to change or something?

Did you create a local account in Windows 10? By default it sends all the stuff you are doing to Microsoft and it may take some bandwidth.

Just tried it on the local account and still 50-60. Its odd that texas is still 50-60 for me also but D.C. which is closer is also 50-60.

Perhaps some service like Windows updater is downloading stuff. Try netstat -b -v to see the established connections from your computer.
