Are you connected with Ethernet or WiFi? If WiFi, how many people are using it at the same time you are? For example, anyone watching movies or Youtube at that time?

Now I think i found a solution! the 3 people are the problem... when there not on the computer im gettiing my 30 mbps again!

if it does happen when no one else is on i will ask again

Yup. Other peoples internet activity will cause momentary internet connectivity saturation. And not just at the ISP level, but also in WiFi signaling as well.

If you must use WiFi and still provide a smooth connection, the easiest option is to just increase your ISP maximum download speeds. In addition, or in tandem with the first option, is to purchase a firewall that can prioritize traffic alongside quality WiFi hardware (such as an AP from Ubiquity).

....or, you can just shout at people to not use the internet when you are, but that won't make very good friends or a happy household 😛
