We all knew what he meant, there's no need to get pedantic about it. Not everyone is aware of the difference between Mb's and MB's.

I agree with this. On a 100mbit interface, you should be able to hit 90+ easily and peak at around 94Mbps, give or take. That's what I used to get when I was still using a DIR-615 (which only has 100Mbps ports) on a 100Mbps connection and is quite a common.
The is absolutely definitely an issue somewhere and I doubt it's the network card.
