It should be somewhere in the region of 1.5-3 not 100. Maybe you're only getting 100kbps.
Well I'm paying for getting 100 mbps and before the upgrade (about 2 month ago) to 100 from 10 I've been able to occationally download stuff in speeds higher than 1 megabyte/s. Haven't fully tested the current connection.
As for the tested results it varied from 3200 to 60 kbps, when my speed was high enough to actually make me see those pages.
Doing the same test twice in a row gave 3200 and 600 in download and 1200 and 1800 in upload.
I'm quite certain that the fluctuations isn't supposed to be that extreme (and low).

Saw wrong on the task manager though, it's meassuring the network-card capacity and use.

Broadband will still share a pipe further down the link with other users. Do you find that you have time of day problems?

Even with a wide pipe while sharing latency will go up as other users get on.

Also there could be fluttering on the link... this is something you would need to get your internet provider to investigate as it would be a router issue at the ISP end... could be slip errors on it or clock issues.
As it's (randomly) considerbly slower than the old 56.6k modem and that I've been able to be alone with 10mbit connection before, unless about 10.000 people suddenly is starting to use the same connection, I think we can rule out that it's because more people is using the same connection.

Checking with the Internet provider is the next step if the troubles remains after cleaning the comp.
