Correct, but doesn't always mean that someone else has used them the
right way round.  I mean that in general, as you're researching this
all over the internet.

Our ISPs here would like us to believe that 50Mb/s is blisteringly fast
internet speeds, for instance.  As a *very* rough calculation (dividing
by 10 instead of 8), and there's handling and other things to take into
account, we know that's really only around 5MB/s, and that doesn't do
all that well in today's bloated internet, especially with multiple
things happening at the same time in your home network.
