I know it's a pretty obvious thing, but have you tried resetting your router?

When you say you're the only person connected, do you mean the only person hardwired in? Or have you checked the router settings to see there is no devices, maybe neighbors, that are connected?

What about a different Ethernet cable? I was having issues with my internet as well. I wasn't getting anywhere near the speeds I was supposed to be getting and a new cable did the trick.

Not really sure then. It could be:
1. You have an old router that doesn't support your speeds / just no longer works as it should.
2. Your actual installation cables are messed up and need to be replaced.

Those are just some of the problems I've had in the past.
