You're experiencing significantly lower speeds than expected. This can happen due to various factors like network congestion, ISP limitations, or device settings. It's not uncommon for speeds to vary based on usage patterns.

I believe you mixed up megabits with megabytes. A megabit measures data transfer speed in networking, which equals 1/8 of a megabyte per second. If your internet speed is 15-20 megabits, that translates to roughly 2 megabytes per second—completely fine.

1 megabyte equals 8 megabits. Speed tests typically display the bits per second, while Steam lists megabytes per second, meaning 15 megabits (Mb) from a speed test translates to roughly 2 megabytes (MB) in Steam.

By default, Steam displays performance in bytes per second, whereas most users expect it in bits per second, causing much confusion.
