If the 10% rule is still in effect, thats about 17 megabytes being downloaded per second, an mp3 would transfer in less than a 1/4 second, a full cd in four seconds, a dvd in under 40 seconds, it wouldnt take long transfering the contents of one hardrive to the next, maybe just over night

i think data has been compressed to the point that any speed exceeding this is just not practical
Mbps is different thatn megabytes per second.

MBPS = MegaBYTES per second
MbPS = MegBITS per second

1 byte = 8 bits
