A megabit is an eighth of a megabyte (8 bits = 1 byte, except possibly on internet connections where I think stop bits are used)

Got 6 meg DSL over here. Of course, it never gets anywhere near that fast, but it could if the link was good enough.

At my house, I have the cable line coming in,
being split about 4 times, and one of those splits being split for the modem...

So does mine. Then again, my mom recently tried to install Gateway.Net v5.0 and now Internet Explorer doesn't work anymore. Or so she says; I'm at my dad's currently.
