They aren't quite the same thing. While a 10 meg network port (ethernet) is sending data at 10 Mbps (max) - it is ethernet frames it is sendiing - inside these frames are the TCP/IP packets, inside these packets is the http data - all this overhead means the final actual data transfer is a fair bit less than 10 Mbps.
