MB means megabytes.. I would use Mbps for bits... so, on Win10 and
NetBSD, I'm able to get 100 MBytes/sec on Win10/NetBSD, and FreeBSD,
I'm only getting a tenth the capability of gige at 9-10 MBytes/sec...
I'll note that fetch reports numbers of MBps, which is one of the tools
I've been using for testing.
