Holly cow! That numbers are not good at all.

- Ensure you are selecting a server that is close to your location 
(whether in doubt, let the app to automatically select the best for you).

- Run the test at regular intervals, on different hours.

- Restart the modem-router, sometime they're simply "clogged".

- What kind of connection technology (cable, ftth, vdsl...) is your ISP 
providning you? What's the up/down speed you have paid for?

- Is your local network using a gigabit infrastructure? This means 
ethernet cabling has to be at least Cat 5e or Cat6, and also the modem-
router as well any other additional device you may have (e.g., ONT for 
fiber links).

- Forget wireless devices if you want to get the best numbers for your 
high speed connection.

- Look at the modem-router for the real speed it is synced.
