internet suddenly slow on everything since yesterday

Speed tests normally show about 200 down, now it's around 15 on every device, wired and wireless. Nothing has changed at home that I know of and I've rebooted the router twice. Is this likely my provider or something I can fix myself?

If it's slow on wired as well, Wi-Fi isn't the problem, so it's the router or the line. Check your provider's status page or app for an outage in your area first, that's the most common cause of a sudden drop like this. Then plug one computer straight into the router with a cable, everything else disconnected, and test again. If it's still around 15, ring the provider. If it jumps back up, something on the network is eating the bandwidth, a cloud backup or a big game download on another device is the usual one.
