I actually have internet this slow at least on steam download.
On speedtest its usually around 6mbps and the crazy thing is that we have a 1000mbps capable modem here at home. I've tried to ask my parents to look into in and try to get it fixed and they keep making up excuses.
Any tips?

get a cat6 or higher ethernet cable
if it doesnt give you the full 1gbits experience you could be capped by CPU or storage speed (or your ISP lied to you and your underground connection isnt 1gbits capable)

if you have cable internet you could have some dogshit plugged into from the 90's destroying your signal but thats slow even with a bad signal

i installed docsis 3.1 modem + triple shielded coax cables, the signal was not all the way fixed until i removed as much coax as possible and replaced every coax coupler with MoCA couplers

also i forgot to mention the worst part are coax splitters with many ports (especially if you have open ports with no cables or coax terminators). If splitters are involved you want a MoCA splitter with as few connections as possible
