Hello to all of you!

The speed of my Local Area Connection is : 100.0 Mpbs.
Here`s the problem.

The most frequent download speed I get from (Steam, IDM or Browser downloads) ranges 100-120 KB/s.
But sometimes I get about a speed ranges 900 KB/s or even 1MB/s higher.

Can someone tell me how can I make it stay with 900 KB/s?

If your connection is 100Mbps then you should get downloads of 12MB/s. However, I think you are mistaking LAN connection speed with the speed you are getting from your Internet Service Provider (ISP). You can only increase Internet download by switching to a better Internet plan from your ISP.

LAN speed is the speed you can get while communicating with other local PCs that are wired to the router.

Here I got 0.98 Mbps = 0.1225 MBps =980 kbps.
But I only get this maximum speed of 140 kpbs.

Any way to fix this?

you are getting Correct speeds..
The speed test showing results in mega bits per second..
IDM is showing speeds in Megabytes per second.

1 megabyte = 8 megabits.

ISPs make us fool by stating their speeds in bits instead of bytes

If your SpeedTest is normal, (95% of the time) it is a connectivity issue with that particular site. I sometimes get slow speeds to these sites myself too even though download is 100Mbps. It may be due to congested routes, overloaded servers etc.

What does your contract with your ISP say?

These are all almost same (give or take)
900 Kbps <=> 125 KB/s <=> 1 Mbps <=> 0.125 MB/s
kilobits----------kilobytes------megabits-----megabytes
1 byte = 8 bits
1 megabyte = 1024 kilobyte

If you believe it is working slower than it should, talk to your ISP's technical service first. The download speeds you are getting are consistent with each other.

the internet speed showing in speedtest.net depends on the backgrond process running at the time of actual test.
For an example if windows is downloading updates.. another program tryin to download or upload somethin will affect the test results.

Try to run test in safe mode to get more accurate results.. make sure that other Computers or devices are not connected to your Network at the time of test.

and one above all advice.. dont bother abt the test results at all.. the differece is in mere KBs ...
