Mega
bits per second. A bit different than mega
bytes. I'm not sure how that translates into how many kilobytes/sec are being transferred, but this is the reason why people are saying it's slow.
Think also of a 56K dialup modem. This is only 56 kilo
bits a second (which is the reason people only see file downloads of up to about 6 kilobytes/sec). So in relation, 11 mbps is still much faster. You should not notice it slowing down your connection that much.
