Flickering? Fluctuating? speed

I upgraded the fastest internet speed cox provided a few month ago.   Since a few weeks, the fluctuation of internet speed has been so bad. Whenever I checked the wifi speed, the speed detecter couldn’t get right speed. One second speed was good, and next second speed is so terrible. Back and forth again.  Do you know what is the problem?

    Wifi is not a good way to test speed from the ISP because it is very dependent on the device, the distance, obstructions, interreference and congestion. What speed do you get wired? Also, do you have a white Panoramic gateway? If not, what model modem and router do you have? Last, what does a Cox speed test show you?
