Run the speed test like that, and you do this to remove all the sharing, the variables such as failing routers or poor quality cables (unless the one you're using is poor too but, meh)
if that fails to raise your speeds, I suggest calling the ISP but don't come across as accusory, it may very well be the modem is failing, or that you just need to have (heres where my terminology may vary) have your circuit rebuilt/refreshed

exactly.
also, is this cable or phone line internet? it's possible you might need a new line ran from the pole to your residence, or maybe you're not using a 1000 mhz splitter (if you're splitting a cable line). maybe you have several splitters in place in the basement, or apt building that you're not even aware of? your ISP should be able to send someone out to troubleshoot this.
