Is your internet on some sort of distributed BW system like Cable modem nodes, or provided by an apartment building, etc?
IF so the issue may not be be in your side of the network.
Also are you wireless or wired while testing, some areas get hyper saturated with 802.11 noise, and can negatively affect wireless. Especially when everyone router is “Auto optimizing” id est channel hopping, and the saturation moves in waves and echoes. If you do determine this IS the problem, set a specific channel, it will not fix it, but it will make in in general better more often.
Can take your router out of the picture and retest direct to provider, if speeds are still now what you pay for, contact who you get that service from, and *then* you get to learn why they all read “Up to” in the fine print!
