... speed on Speedtest.net and PlayStation speed test. If 8 megabytes = 1 megabit then I should get around 7 to 8 megabytes per second speed at the top end on downloads. My question is why does this never happen. For as long as I have had this internet nothing ever downloads any faster then 2.3 megabytes per second and most of the time hovers around 800 kilobytes per second and that's with a direct Ethernet connection and nothing else hogging the bandwidth. Why can I never get even remotely close to my full download speed?

or:Internet communications use packets. A packet identifies the sender by an internet protocol address, process, and a few other things, and also the addressee in a similar fashion. I think an url can be as long as 64 bytes or some number like that. So 65 megabits is nowhere near 8 megabytes of data.
