Internet connection slow only on http downloads (but not on speedtest)

Here are the facts:
- I have 1gbps broadband connection with my ISP in Catalonia
- I download very fast using Torrent, Steam, Epic Games launcher, etc. at like over 100mb/s
- SpeedTest also shows arround 950ish mbps, which is close to 1gbps
But when it comes to http downloads, it is very very slow, like 1mb/s or something. I've tried for example these links:
- https://www.thinkbroadband.com/download
- https://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop
Here are the results:
- Friend with ISP A @ 500mbps connection downloads the files at arround 55mb/s
- At Work with ISP B @ 100mbps connection downloads the files at arround 11mb/s
At home with ISP C @ 1000mbps connection downloads the files at arround 1mb/s
I contacted my ISP and they say my connection is fine and that if they have to send a technician they will charge me.
Here are my thoughts:
The http protocol per se is not limited I think, since if I put many parallel http downloads the total download speed is higher than 1mb/s
This problem does not have to do with the speed of the server where I am downloading from, since the tests were made at the same time of the day with my friend and he was constantly getting the way higher speed than I did
My home router does not have in place any kind of bandwitch limitation that I know of
Speed is fine with the rest of stuff, youtube, netflix, steam, torrent...
Thoughts?

Is your ISP Jazztel?

Nov 12 at 7:57
No @GabrielaGarcia, it's a local ISP from Catalonia called XTA. Why?
– Aleix
Nov 12 at 7:59
Because the other day I've noticed the exact same problem as you described at a local with Jazztel. By the way, visca catalunya!

It is a really weird behaviour and I do not have enough networking knowdledge to grasp what is going on... Lliure! :))
– Aleix

You definitely know more than I do. I have no thoughts. If it were the same ISP and in the absence of other reports we could pinpoint the issue. But XTA.cat seems to have no relationship with Jazztel.
