Correct, it's a Mac with osx, and download managers in both IE 5.2 and Apple's own Safari 1.0 both report speeds in KB. It's the non-decimal nature of these things that pickles my poor noggin.
Thanks for clearing that up!
EDIT - Is it technically possible for me to get a speed faster than I have subscribed for? My download maintained speeds between 85-90KB/sec for a couple of minutes the other day, which equates to something like 680-720k bandwidth.
