your connection is 50 megaBITS not megaBYTES.. so divide 50 by 8 and you'll get your answer..

50 / 8 = 6.25

Now take in to account the overheads.. the speed you're seeing is completely accurate.

If you wanted to download at 50 MegaBYTES as you insinuated then the same math applies...

50 * 8 = 400

So you'd need to pay for a 400 to 500 Megabit connection.

I have a 900 / 110 connection and my actual MegaByte speeds are 90 / 10

You may feel hard done by, but this has always been the way.. as far as I know every ISP in the world markets in Mb (MegaBit) not MB (MegaByte)
