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
