7mb is the theoretical throughput. In the real world, there is some
data overhead to manage the connection... Line noise, handshakes, the
quality of your modem/router/NIC.
If you are consistently getting 6.8mb on a 7mb line, that's pretty good.

Dude, that's good. Don't complain about it. If it was 7 KB/sec, then
yeah there's a problem.

Ditto. If it was 6.8 KB/sec, then that would be a problem. :D
