Why is my internet downloading speed so slow?

download speed often depends on the website it's coming from. It can depend on the number of people on the internet nearby or number of people on the same website. It probably is not a problem with your internet

Until about 3 days ago, I could download 4 or 5 mb files in less than 20 seconds. Now, it takes up to 3 minutes and downloading anything takes a lot longer than usual. Is there any way to fix this or check if there's anything wrong? Thanks in advance.
