And that's the advertised speed. Sometimes it's faster, and sometimes it's a bit lower.

I usually get the advertised speed from Verizon.

It's been a bit slower over the last few days after someone hit a telephone pole down the street on Friday night.

i siad MB/s because bitmeasurement doesn't conventionally apply to measuring transfer speed, just quotas ((home ISps advertise in Mbps because the number is higher than it would be in MB/s, there's no reason to)) .. like for instance if they truly advertised 20Mbps connection, you would be able to get 20*60*60*24*30 = 51.84 TB of transfer per month (this is also called dedicated 20mbps, to make the distinction from the other way they use it), but of course ISPs also give you a monthly transfer limit, making the bits per second notation meaningless. Mbps / Gbps is only *really* used when dealing with large amounts of data, because you can say "4Gbps" instead of "10,000 TB/month" ::: hence why saying "20Mbps" instead of "2.5 MB/s" is just counter-intuitively complicating things.
