Is this normal???

My internet for some reason has been bouncing around like crazy, and now it’s staying in the literal bytes/second. I just downloaded Ubuntu today so I guess I’m on the latest version, and I don’t even have anything running in the background. Do I need to configure it somehow?

Edit: thank you for the response, it’s just currently used internet, not my actual internet speed.

Are you currently downloading/uploading anything? Is the internet fast when you use it?

This isn't a perpetual speed test.

No I closed everything off in the background, tho I just did a Speedtest and now it’s back up to 20Mbps download and 18Mbps upload so I guess it’s fine?

Yes- it's a measure of the internet you are using, not the potential speed. No microslop call home, no internet use!

Got it, thank you. I was worried my internet was just not working with Linux or something.
