Which speed test site you used? If you’re getting slow downloads then it means your isp is slow bring their representatives over and show them the slow speed. Also change your password to make sure no one else is using your data

Speedtest.net one and they won't come here so I have to do something, is it because of the many connections that go through the server that has been fitted besides our neighbors home?
How to check if someone is using my internet?

What stuff are you downloading exactly? Is it any and every download? ISPs can throttle the connection by type of traffic. For instance i use a 4G mobile broadband most of the time, which has a data cap of 200 GB per month, when i reach that, they restrict Youtube and torrents for instance, but i can keep browsing normally without limits.

If many devices are connected it’ll slow your net, two if your location is far it’ll effect speed, change your password and see the difference in speed if you get more speed then before that means someone was using your net (again this is just my assumption) I think there’s a app or method for it but I don’t know any fix ones so you’ll have to use google for it.

Yea, but regardless data plan, they can still throttle the connection even if they say, it's unmetered. It's a dick move, but some ISPs do this.Mine is unlimited plan for the whole month so shudnt be an issue

Can you watch Youtube in 720p or 1080p? If there's no buffering, only when you download movies, softwares, they must filter that kind of traffic or downloading site.

If the router is yours you can check connected devices through 192.168.x.x (x is isp dependent)

No, usually there are interferences. For example in my case, near router I get 100 Mbps. With my cable on I get 500 Mbps. If I move inside the house or another room, it will drop even to 10 Mbps, and I have a pretty expensive router, but this issue is building related or nearby devices that interfere.

I don't think so.
Maybe the network is not fast enough for the amount of users, who use the network during the day, so the provider limits certain type of traffic or the network becomes the bottleneck on its own and it gets unlimited/reaches a better speed during the night, when a lot less people use it. Depending on what's in the contract, you can't even complain, if the guaranteed speed is set to a very low speed. This is common with mobile broadband connections for instance. If it's the case, upgrading the plan won't do a thing.
It makes a lot of sense, what TomTheCat described above, but i think, it doesn't apply here. If the wifi signal is weak for whatever reason, it's weak for the speedtest too, so you should be measuring the same low speed, what you measure, when downloading.
Anyhow, the connection looks throttled to me. That's the only possible explanation why you got 10 Mbit/s, when you do a speedtest and a lot less, when you actually download.
Contact the provider and ask them, they should know more than us from here.

If you're trying to test speeds via wi-fi - results might be obscured depending on how many devices you have connected to the router; how powerful the router is.
If you want a true test on wi-fi manually remove the connected devices. You can do this via admin login to the control panel. And then test again with your best device.
Or just to connect your best device via ethernet to test.
Make sure you are getting the bandwidth you are paying for.
I use ooklah.
If things are still looking really crappy it might be either an issue with the router itself or lagging ISP junction box and you should probably call a technician to check it out.

But, still why does it show the speed like it is working fine on sites like speedtest.net when the actual download speed is not even close ?
