Switch drops speed

My switch drops/reduces my internet speed from 250 Mb to aprox. 60-90 Mb. After I have unplugged the power and then powered on it's back to 250 Mb. It can work for weeks and then the same thing - low speed.

What can I do?

    when speeds drop, what does the led's show for connection status? 
    If both left and right led's are green its 1gig connection. If only the left is green, its 100mbps. 

    Maybe you have a sketchy cable/connection and its dropping speeds down to 100mbps.
