Speeds generally slow down a bit when a lot of people are online using the same ISP.
Then, you have limitations of your ISP.... some ISP's have fairly consistent speeds, regardless of the amount of users, then there are others (often cheaper ISP's) that have less available bandwidth and speed drops are more noticeable when their networks are busy.
The type of plan you have can also impact on speeds, especially if you have multiple devices connected to the net simultaneously.
Any mix of the above can have quite a variation on speeds at various times.
What ISP and plan are you on?
