    Your service provider has likely oversold themselves and can't provide sufficient bandwidth during peak usage. You live in an apartment?

    Another thing is that you may be infected with a virus or malware. You may want to check MalwareBytes. There is a free version to check your PC....

    Call your ISP. Sometimes they update their routers and forget to tell you, or update yours. It can be your PC. Wifi routers also can go bad and make the bandwidth very slow. Use speedtest.org to test your speed.
