How about 10Mbps Only?
Bytes per second == bits per second / 8
bits per second == Bytes per second * 8

We're sorry, but due to a PEBKAC (Problem Exists
Between Keyboard And Chair) error (specifically,

Depends on how you connect to the network (either local
network or Internet, whichever applies). I use a dialup
PPP link so I put it in /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/, but if you have
a cable/DSL/etc. connection, I'd write a quick init script,

so that you're at a shell prompt. If you're
not logged in as root (as you shouldn't be),
enter the command su - followed by your
root password. From there, run /usr/bin/pppconfig
