Almost no speed with my own modem, unable to use internet - 1 mbps upload & 1mbps download?!?!

My internet connection is cycling between acceptable speeds and virtual zero speed at all. from 96 mbps download & 41 mbps upload all the way down to 1 mbps upload & 1mbps download. When it's that low web pages won't log, I can't upload or download I can't stream, video quality is degraded. I don't need super fast speeds - I don';t do gaming and I don't download huge files - mostly MP3s and compressed music files but I can't even do that at times. Why is it so slow? I have had techs come to my house and they cannot fix, they say it's all ok when it's clearly not. No one on phone has helped, every time I talk to a new rep I get the run around, the contradict what the last person told me. Every time it's a new story. Please help!!!!!

Good evening @user_urn349! Having the connection fluctuate from usable speeds all the way down to 1 Mbps would definitely be frustrating. I appreciate you mentioning the technician visits you’ve already had so we don’t start by repeating the same troubleshooting.

 

Could you please confirm the make and model of your modem and the speed tier you’re subscribed to?

 

Are you seeing these speeds on wireless connection, hardwired connections using an ethernet cable, or both?
