Yes, and even then you won't actually get 8mb most of the time. Very few servers on the internet could sustain an 8meg download for more than 1 or 2 people at a time, and then there is all the network between you and the remote server. As an obvious example - those of you on 3meg links are not getting that speed from the Cable Forum Server (which is based in the USA) I have been testing it today and the best I can get is 2meg.
