I believe you meant that you have an internet speed of 81 MegaBytes vs 81 Megabits.

From back in the day, there was a settings section for limiting your download/upload speeds, to make sure you didn’t max out your data cap/plan. I would suggest looking into that to make sure you’re not self-capping your DLs.

Also check to make sure that your ISP isn’t throttling your internet connection after you hit a certain amount of data. Look at the contract you have with them.

But like others have said, it could be a list of other reasons.

OP is confused but I’m pretty sure he’s right about that part. Most (all?) ISPs advertise service in Megabit / Gigabit speeds. Definitely here in the U.S. not sure if other countries do that differently.

Also most speedtest sites measure in Megabit / Gigabit. e.g. www.speedtest.net is a popular one and by default it measures bandwidth speeds in Megabit / Gigabit.
