ya, mine doesn't actually give me a numberical figure for the throughput, it shows utilisation as a % of the link speed which is 1gbit (remember it is the speed which your adapter is connected to the router, i.e. a 1gbit nic connected to a 1gbit port on the router using a patch cable which is capable of 1gbit).

Long story short it is in mbits so don't be put off. I am uploading at my max speed atm which is 100% as fart as VM are concerned but Windows is only saying 1.5% (1.41mbits). If I were downloading at max speed it would only show 15% because 150mbits is 15% of 1000).
