Test your speed with a Ethernet cable plugged into your modem. If you are getting the correct speed there, it is a WiFi issue, and not really anything your provider can fix.
If it is WiFi issues, look into a Mesh network router, they are made by most router companies and they provide tremendously better performance. They actively monitor for interference and change frequencies/channels automatically. Also the use multiple units spaced around the house to cover the house evenly to eliminate weak/dead spots.
The downside to these mesh routers is they are expensive ($200-300). I use one made by Eero, and it has increase my speed in every area of my house, where I used to get 5-40mbps in many areas of the house, now I get 145-148mbps throughout the house.
