    To clear up confusion, 6MBps (MegaByte) down would be equal to 48Mbps (Megabit). So you would be above the mentioned standard.

    Or you made typo, then you’re indeed below standard ^^"

        One is a rate of data, the other is an amount.

        Mbps means megabits per second.

        MB is just megabytes. You can of course turn it into a rate, but then it would be MB/s.

        There are 8 bits in a byte, so 100 Mbps would be 12.5 MB/s (divide by 8)
