How do I know if my 5G home internet is being throttled?

We've had 5G home internet for almost a year now. When we first got the service, our average download speed was around 250mb, ping was normally around 25-30ms, and upload was 10-15mb. About a month ago, our speeds went into the basement, and now we can barely stream a show on one TV.
When we are home, we are getting 0.5-15mb download, 125-1000ms ping, and 0.5-3.0mb upload. The reason why I say when we are home is because I will run a speed test while at work and it shows speed close to what we used to get. However, during "peak" times, we can't do anything because the service is so slow.
So, I need help finding out if we are being throttled or if Verizon has overloaded the system in our area. The reason I think we are being throttled is because we are a household of 5 and normally use 1.5-2tb of data per month. I'm getting ready to change to a competitor if we can't find out why our internet is so bad.
Anyone else having issues like this? Any information or suggestions are appreciated.
