Bandwith speed issue
So I have been doing a Ookla speedtest at various times of the day over the last week. My download speeds have been about 27-30 mbs and upload speeds of 60+ mbs. Months ago my download speeds were ...

My reported download has gone from 597Mbps to 33Mbps. Reported upload is 54Mbps. I'd never heard of an upload being faster than the download either. Reported upload earlier this evening was 3Mbps. I'm seeing the fluctuation in upload speed too.

I have rebooted the router but I have not rebooted the whole system including the modem. I will give that a try. the only time I have resorted to that is on occasion, I seem to lose my internt connection totally, then reboot and it has always brought me back.
Well, I just rebooted the entire system, not just the router and it seemed to work for now. Popping downloads in the 100 mbs range, so just rebooting the router did not have much affect but rebooting the router AND the modem seems to have done it. Maybe something was hung up in the transfer between the two. Someone may know, but not me nor do I care. Thanks for pointing me in a direction I had not yet chosen
Guess I spoke to soon. As soon as I posted the last reply, I ran another speedtest. Back down to 30 again. I cannot reboot again right away since my wife is now online but it does make me wonder and will set me off on another issue to research
Rebooting the modem seems to be the solution, but the sequence of rebooting other devices may matter. Change up the order. Try rebooting the modem first.
Just in case you still have an issue like I am still seeing after the reboot, I did come across this page

Rebooting the modem seems to have fixed my issue.
Wow, even more of a discrepency than I am seeing. If you come across an answer, please let me know
