So I noticed a big change in our internet speed for the last 2-3 weeks. I'm connected through wifi in my laptop and at first our internet speed is what we expected ~25-26 mbps.
And then it started slowing down, and down, and down.
The first week we got our internet I had ~20-30 Ping, ~25-26 mbps download, and ~4-5 mbps upload (That's using wi-fi connection in my laptop)

Here's what it is now :

The graph is also very unstable, going high then down forming a spiky mountain

I ran the same test in my brother's laptop connected to the router through ethernet and it's also slow there, not as mine though.

To be honest, I don't know much about internet and wi-fi so I would really appreciate if one of you guys could have the answer to my suffering, my ping is too high to play games....
I also read that our ISP could be throttling us, which is possible.

the ping is so high because you are sending it halfway across the globe, sheesh!. 27ms is actually really good. As for your internet speed, its likely that your ISP's fault. if its a prime time of the day, you will notice it slow down do to so many people being on the network. As for your wifi signal being sporadic... thats a router issue. Your router is sending too weak of a signal and thus the fluctuation. Try running the test again standing right next to the router.

I did the test on my brother's laptop using ethernet cable and I got ~8mbps of spiky(up and down) download speed, not really what it used to be
