Broadband line speed is told in megabits per second (Mbps or Mb/s), but download managers (including those built-in on every browser) tell the actual download speed in kilobytes and megabytes per second (KBps or KB/s, MBps or MB/s). One byte = 8 bits, so for instance if you have a 10 Mbps broadband line, you theoretical maximum download speed is a little bit over 1.2 MBps, so it looks that your friend is getting downloads about as fast as possible, her theoretical maximum being about 1.33 MBps.

I think you are mixing Megabits (Mb) and Megabytes (MB, notice the capital B) here.

Kari Bit : A Bit is a value of either a 0 or 1. Byte : 1 Byte = 8 Bits Kilobyte (KB) : 1 KB = 8,192 Bits , 1 kB = 1,024 Bytes Megabyte (MB) 1MB =1024 KB Gigabyte (GB) 1GB = 1024 MB Terabyte (TB) 1TB = 1024 GB Petabyte (PB) 1PB = 1024 TB Exabyte (EB) 1EB = 1024 PB Zettabyte (ZB) 1ZB = 1024 EB 10Mbit = 10 * 1024 / 8 = 1280 (kbps) = 1.28MB/s |
