Re: 50Meg Down 5Meg up Is this download speed correct?
Well there are 8 bits to a byte but there are also overheads involved which drags the download down a little from 50/8 = 6.25MBps.

In practice offpeak on 50Mbps with a good source or sources you can get over 6MBps but anything over 5MBps isn't bad.
