Unknown internet traffic

My Internet device (a USB dongle) shows Internet speed very good. But actually, when I browse and surf websites, they all seem to load very slow. Even if none of sites are loading, all stopped, the device will still show much high download and upload speeds. It seems there's always something hidden traffic running on the background which I can't see. What it could be?

How can I know every single program using my Internet bandwidth? Is there any program for it?

EtherApe is a graphical network monitor modeled after etherman. it displays network activity graphically, showing active hosts as circles of varying size, and traffic among them as lines of varying width.

It features link layer, ip and TCP modes, color-color coded protocols display, Ethernet, FDDI, Token Ring, ISDN, PPP and SLIP devices. It can filter traffic to be shown, and can read traffic from a file as well as live from the network. You can Download it from The Software Center.

Run it with Sudo

sudo etherape
