Are you sure you don't mean your Ethernet speed? Thats the "Connected at 100mbs" pop-up window you see in Windows. That only refers to the speed your NiC is going, for example between the PC and the DSL Modem is clocked at 100mbs, but that does not mean your actual Internet connection speed. All NiCs run at 100mbs. The Windows popup is very misleading, lots of people confuse the NiC LAN speed as their actual internet speed, its a common error.

We are talking about Internet Connection speeds, the speed your DSL/Cable modem sends and receives data on the internet.

I am assuming its a commercial ISP, you should check your invoice to see what speed you have, I will gladly help if you need it. Of course if its a non-commercial system (i.e Governmental system) , in which case its normal that I have never heard of it.
