Ben, there is a good reason why they do that. TCP/IP has a lot of overhead traffic, so they always quote the raw speed to get a better rating, conveniently forgetting to mention the fact that quite some of these bits are "service" ones. Those 2Mbps will most likely end up being 0.2..0.1MBps as far as the user content is concerned, and I'm not even talking about implicit mime64 conversion which may affect those actual rates 50% :-)
Yep,
Wouldn't it be nice if they could be clear and just give a straight speed
