So for the past few months or so, I've noticed an extreme decrease in the speed of my internet--so bad to the point where I had to take the Wifi off my phone and my apps all began working again once I got onto 4G. I currently have the 25/5 dl/ul package, which I used to get quite often, but nowadays it seems that I'm lucky to get dialup modem performance.
So I went to a few places just to test my speed:

And I tested my ping too:

So when I went searching the internet for anythign related to this topic, people were saying to restart/unplug the router and restart my computer, which I've done a few times. I've remoted into the router and checked the devices that are all currently connected to the router and they're all fine--even turned them off to see if one of them was sucking some serious bandwidth out of the router but to no avail.
I saw a few pages about changing the DNS server so I did that, changing it to 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220. Nothing happened.
I have McAfee Firewall and I'm usually pretty good about checking for suspicious incoming connections but I don't see a lot of activity. I don't have anything running in the background that would be sucking bandwidth like bittorrent or something similar.
I don't know what else to try at this point. I've got excellent signal strength on my PC and every test I run says I should be downloading things quickly, but youtube videos never go to HD quality and always take forever to load.
Please help. Any questions/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
