There's some funky maths going on here methinks :-p
2752Kbps != 275KB/s
try
2752 / 8 = 344KB/s
you do yourself a disservice assuming Kb to KB is an order of ten magnitude
difference.
[side-rant]
WHY do so many people get KB and Kb, i.e. bits vs bytes and MB vs mB i.e.
Mega vs Mili wrong! The number of times I see something like "I've got a
5mb connection" and have to refrain from asking what a milibit is! It's not
even as if they were wanting to say MegaBits, but instead getting it wrong
twice by meaning MegaBYTEs. There's a standard for a reason people!
