Currently I'm a college student, so I don't have my own router but I use my university WiFi. And that frequently goes below 1mbps.
In that case, in assuming interference is the issue. A lot of college housing is made of solid concrete block which is great at blocking WiFi signal
There's some of that, but even in the open dining hall space I get terrible Internet speeds, even when it isn't particularly crowded there.
Ah, yeah, that would do it, too. I don't necessarily feel like a new standard will help with that either, but who knows, maybe in a decade or two, every university WiFi router is on WiFi 7...
