Do you understand the difference between MB/s and Mb/s?

And even if he means 5 MB/s, that is too slow. I also get 47 Mbit, and that results in 5.8 MB/s.

5 MB/s is still within reason fora  47 Mbit connection. You don't expect to get the exact speed you see in a speedtest when downloading stuff.

There're tons of factors that come into play when talking about internet speed and many ISPs have different implementations of how connections speeds are limited. 
 
There are typically 2 initial methods for an ISP limiting the speed of a connection. The speed can be limited at the connection level, ie: modem/ONT/Radio trains, or connects up at the speed one is paying for. Or speed can also be limited by an authentication server. ie: the modem/ONT/Radio trains/connects at it's maximum possible speed, and then the connection goes through an authentication process where an authentication server uses a username or password provided by the modem (using something like PPPoA), or the mac address of the modem to determine what speed the connection should be at and then soft-caps the speed for whatever profile there is for a given circuit.
 
The first method listed above will usually result in speed reduction by the connection overhead and a speedtest will never show the speed your paying for. Depending on the type of connection the overhead could be anywhere from >1% to as high as 30% in some cases. For DSL in particular, it's commonplace for there to be 20-30% overhead. The second method may still have some degree of overhead, but, in most cases, it's almost none, at which point you will see little or no degradation in speed tests. 
 
In addition to an ISP capping your internet connection, there are other factors that come into play, the most prominent being background downloading/uploading on devices on your home network. I can't tell you how many times I've seen someone call me because a speedtest shows far less than what they're paying for, and it's because their kid left a torrent running on their computer, or they downloaded google drive and it's trying to sync their 4GB of family photos, or more recently, the 3GB Windows 10 download which started being pushed out yesterday/day before. Also, another person on the same internet connection watching netflix, hulu, or other streaming service will screw things up.
 
Source: I work as a tech agent for a call center which takes residential and business calls for several small and medium sized ISPs with internet services including Sattelite, WiMax, Dialup, DSL, Cable, Fiber, with speeds ranging from 56k dialup all the way up to Gigabit Fiber on the residential side of things.

Internet today since it's being good to me.

And hotspot I was on for 3 days while my internet was down from a hailstorm, largest hail in years, coming in at 4.25"... It's a world record in Michigan I believe, also no longer have two skylights cause of it.

Beware of him that is slow to anger; for when it is long coming, it is the stronger when it comes, and the longer kept. Abused patience turns to fury.
