Your Download/Upload speed?
Starcraftman:
I would also like to state that when measuring the speed of ones internet you must divide your values by 8 in order to get the results in megabytes, because in networking/data transfer standards speeds are measured in bits/second while storage is measured in bytes. For example 100 MB LAN operates at 100 megabits/second which means you can transfer data over your LAN at a theoretical 12.5 megabytes/second.
*Edit*- You also have to divide your upload speed by 8 to get the value in megabytes.

185 kilobytes/s down, 28 kilobytes/s up.
