If you have the router or modem on a master switch and turn it of frequently then it maybe that the cable/DSL network of the ISP detects this as a sign of dodgy cable connection. And then throttles down the bandwidth to maintain the connection for longer time. Their equipment can't tell you deliberately switched it off.
So, put your computer, speakers, usb-hub, printer on a master switch, but not the modem! Leave that one powered 24/7.
