Rich - you are "messed up" and should apologize to the previous responders.
Broadband dial-up and network "speeds" are NOT expressed in terms of
"megabytes " but in terms if "megabits per second". To determine the speed
in bytes you divide the "bits by eight".
With your attitude - good luck in getting assistance!
