    First of all you should try the speed with the application or a computer connected with the ethernet cable.
    I believe that your problem is the wifi, you can try to do this

    Your Fizz Wi-Fi modem uses by default the frequency band steering technology. When this function is disabled, the Wi-Fi modem will display two (2) frequency bands, 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. Manually select the 5 GHz from your devices.

    The modification of this option is possible thanks to the mobile application Fizz Wi-Fi:


    Choose: ''My Wi-Fi''
    Select your Wi-Fi network
    Select: ''Advanced Settings''
    Band Steering ''On/Off''

    The Fizz Wi-Fi app is available for free at various online stores (Apple Store and Google Play Store).

    This change can also be applied through the Wi-Fi modem user interface:

    1. Log in at: 192.168.0.1 from the web browser of any device.
    2. Log in using the following information:

    Username: cusadmin
    Password: xxxxxxxx (Password you chose during initial setup)

    3. Go to the next section to apply changes:

    Wireless → General Settings → 5GHz → Band Steering (Disable)

    @Paulo,
    In my case I disabled the 2.4GHZ and kept only the 5 GHZ, the speed is correct. With 2.4 GHZ there are many interference ex. Microwave use 2.4GHZ, the home phone use the 2.4GHZ.
    Try to test as @Mike said with cable connected to a computer, than test the 5 GHZ Wifi.
    Hope this helps
    Regards
    Mo
