Can you please provide less information?

 

Far out you don't even mention what type of connection or if you are testing over Wi-Fi or Ethernet!

I am in the same boat. Been having low speeds since late Wednesday night, speeds tclose to what OP has.. I am using the Slingshot supplied Modem on 300/100 Plan. I reached out to support and tried what they suggested. Thing's I have tried, turned everything off using wifi and used the ethernet port on the laptop ran a speed test. Turned off the ONt and Modem did a restart no change. restarted the modem no change. Reached out to support again and they are stumped :/ Don't know what else I can do?

Edit: before the low speeds I had been having great speeds around 328/108 consistent speeds up until now.

Same here.

 

Was testing on fibre 300/100 on ethernet connection. I wasnt after assistance but rather seeing if anyone else was having these issues. No real significance as the connection was fine other than lower speed than normal. I eventually got through to log the fault and they wernt really interested which is what I expected.  

 

Given that two of us here have a similar issue there must be a minor issue with the network unless they accidentally halved the speeds rather than doubled them :P
