Just to continue the in-game chat, the fact both your computers show the same problem isn't an indictment of "you're not getting 100mb/s throughput." Your speed test probably looks completely fine. But if the ISP modem's built-in firewall is interfering with this game traffic, or some other condition in the ISP is causing this particular traffic to be dropped after a period of time or something, it could be the reason why the problem shows on both computers.
Only "bringing someone else's computer that doesn't have an issue to your house", or taking one of your computers to someone else's house, would rule that our for certain. Short of that, looking whether the administration menus for your ISP's modem lets you temporarily disable or change something to "just pass the traffic through without inspection" might possibly help confirm, if the issue disappears once you disable the modem's filtering of traffic. Not saying that's how you would want to run long-term; it would just confirm the modem is apparently dropping some of the packets involved here.
