Internet help

Hey guys i have a problem with my internet download in steam.Basiclly when i had 20 mbps internet sped i was downloading with around 2,5mb/s.Right now i have around 60-70(I have 100 but i am using Wi-Fi) and i am only downloading with 4mb/s soo...

20 mbps internet = 2.5mbps download speed
60 mbps internet = 4mbps downloading speed
this makes no sense for me + sometimes its dropping even to 0 mbps
Help?

Internet connection speed is measured in bits per second. Downloads are usually measured in bytes per second. There are 8 bits per byte. So 20 mbps is 20/8 =2.5 MBps. 60/8 = 7.5 MBps. If you want steam downloads to show in bits there is an option for that in settings.
If your question is more about speed fluctuating or decreasing over wifi it can be due to signal strength or interference. Try connecting directly to your router through ethernet and run a speed test.

Of course you have, pretty much every ethernet cable out there is UTP.

some laptop use usb-to-ethernet adapter (shipped with laptop) few - don't have at all
you can bay it by self or place wifi access point, nearby (connected to router \ modem via utp)

Most laptops built in the last 10-15 years have ethernet. If not, as was previously suggested you can purchase a usb to ethernet adapter.
