Does it mean megabits or megabytes?
Little 'b' = bits, Big 'B' = bytes. At least since I was a kid in the 1980s.

Arrggg!!! I meant: Little 'b' means 'bits'.
Up or Down? (Score:5, Informative)
It is one choice for up and another for down. And I care about both directions as I work from home a lot.

Road Runner (via Time Warner Cable) says I'm paying for 20 Mbps. However, they also say that I can achieve that speed only when accessing a nearby server. So I get 24 Mbps with a server in Los Angeles (17 hops and 30 miles away) but only 6 Mbps with a server in New York (one additional hop but 3,000 miles away). I frequently communicate over the Internet with my daughter, who lives in the central prairies of Canada; then I get 3 Mbps across 21 hops and 2,500 miles.

Capped connection - sucks.
My connection (Lithuania):
300Mbps up/down with no cap
~29USD/month (VAT included)
I regularly upload 600-1200GB/day, most was 1482GB/day. I don't download much though.
