This is actually very suprising to me since NOTHING I ever download goes above 550 kbps.

internet speeds are measured in bits not bytes

 

the download speeds you see are 550 kilobytes

 

8bits make a byte

5mbits = 5000 kbits/8 = 625kilobytes aka ur data download speed

Thank you and that other guy for explaining it to me. For a second i thought my dad was spending $40 a month for garbage. I could always watch netflix and hd videos on youtube just fine so that always made me suspicious.
