Not quite.

133000000 bps = just a tiny bit over 126.83Mbps (not 133)
12000000 bps = just a tiny bit over 11.44Mbps (not 12)

Virgin would like you to say 12000000 bps = 12Mbps but it's certainly not. It would have to be 12600000bps to even get a chance of hitting 12Mbps. Ideally it would need to be 13000000bps as a little extra fluff for the majority to get it.

I know when I had 30Mb the upload config was 3300000bps which translates to 3.14Mbps a lot more generous than they are being now with the higher tiers. It meant I always hit 3Mbps and usually over it.
