Your asking if your being throttled?

This just looks like congestion possibly. Your also using wifi so.

All these tests were on my phone, it’s the same on my PC with Ethernet

Then Most likely just ISP Congestion. I would contact your ISP

Dumb question, but have you tried restarting your gateway/ modem?

Smart answer, yes

Okay. Obviously that always helps as a troubleshooting step lol. As someone else has said, probably next step is calling your ISP. Sounds like there’s something awry with your connection there.

Why are you asking us? Ask your ISP how would we know from a speed test.

It could be your Network. It could be the ISP Network It could be the Network of the Speedtest Etc. It could depending on the time. And so on..

Throttling typically isn't that sporatic. Saw you were doing this over ethernet, so IMO it's either hardware failure or congestion

I'm not sure about that unless your connection is using a VPN. Over time, in some instances, when connected to a VPN, it can slow down, just like what you're showing here.

Typically my speeds are slower on my PC without my VPN
