aren't you getting confused now?
56k was 8 kbytes (although in practice I never saw more than 4k back in the day)
I see 100k downloads on my orange dongle when I do download stuff, but with my 500mb limit I try and avoid that.
3.6mbit is pretty good considering we all had 512kbit ASDL lines at the start of the broadband journey. The upstream is a little poop though.
