I have the fastest line available and it's a 6.6Mbit down, 512Kbit up.
(6.6 is the minimum guarantied and the 512Kbit is a capped max)
if you have a 6.6 Mb connection, here's a newsflash:
you're not downloading at 1 MB/s

at most, you're getting 742 KB/s, and that's under the most ideal conditions.
in order to download at 1 MB/s, you would need to be on a 9 Mb connection.
