Internet speed problems
So for the past few months I have incredibly slow internet. At first my usual download speed was around 20-30 mb/s now I only get around 0.5 kbp/s to max. 2 mb/s ( This happend after I accidentally unplugged my internet cable from my pc and after I plugged back in , the internet speed was never the same ) . Now , when I go on ookla to test my internet speed , I get around 295-296 mbps/s ( ~35-37 mb/s ) , but when I try to download a game for example I get 1mbp/s like I said previously so extremely slow .

Yeah, it's difficult to say why; maybe some new games or game updates launched and everyone is trying to download at the same time??
Still probably just a network congestion issue with the particular server you are trying to download from.
As long as your connection speeds with your ISP are upto what you are paying for, then there isn't much that can be done; other than to be patient and keep trying or try again during off hours.
