I live in rural Scotland and have found that when the cows are laying down, or is it standing up, can't remember now, but anyway this badly affects my wireless connection. Also the wind turbines on the hill opposite when their blades are rotated East to West. Or maybe it is the Solar Grand Maximum.
No seriously OP, my connection is rated at 6.5Mbps down/0.36Mbps Up on a BT hub (no choice they are the only ISP here, no fibre optic here). I get the same performance as my previous 30Mbps down and 9Mbps UP f/o connection. At the moment with the summer hols there is a slowdown which always happens (!)
Also generally in the UK, ISP's cap P2P connections. They don't admit it but there isn't a great deal you can do. Ringing them to complain only works short-term after a few days the connection usually goes back to its usual performance. And you may see those figures that so impressed you on signing-up - They will NEVER guarantee them and its unlikely you will be actually getting anything close unless there is no-one else near you that is and you are next to the "box"
Just have to put up with it. As Cassandra says...breathe slowly and count to 10...it works lol
