Very slow internet today

Today my broadband has slowed to hardly anything - doing a speed test it says the Ping is 446 and then 346 - usually it is about 20.


Why is this?


How do I correct it?

    Usually due to testing over wifi and from a wrong server /server far away .

    I'd blame the "evil" ;)

    But seriously though - router and/or modem restart first, then contact ISP.
