In My Network Connections my  connection shows up as
LAN/HIGHSPEED INTERNET
Local area connection
and shows the speed from Router to PC   ie. 100mbps
Sometimes I get another connection showing
INTERNET CONNECTION
this shows the true connection speed       ie. 5.2

How do I keep the INTERNET CONNECTION showing all the time

Hi

When you system is connected as a LAN (Like when you use a Router). The
Network speed indicates the capacity of the connection.

Your actual Internet connection is usually much slower.

If you want a constant on screen monitor of the actual Internet connection
by using small application like this,
