Using the conversion from bits to bytes, you should find that the figure is approximately an eigth of that quoted in bits per second, minus a little bit more due to attenuation etc. @ JS

For example, when I had 2mb broadband, I was getting 200 kb/s downloads. Now I have a 6mb connection, and I can get little over 600 kb/s.
