That doesn't sound right. Maybe 1MBit/s or so would be more likely.
I don't think I've ever seen any network throughput advertised in
megabytes per second. Cox is typically thought of as the faster
service and I think it offers 5 MBit/s. 1 MByte/s would be
(roughly!) 8 MBit/s.
Hrm.. now that I think of it, Cox bumped their download speed a few
months back. I wonder if they are more than 8 MBit/s these days. I
do know that my downloads have been noticeably faster. In the past,
I was happy with 450KByte/s but now I often get over 600KByte/s
