DU Meter can show "download speeds" either way in kilobits per second (kbps)
or kilobytes per second (which I think they abbreviate as KB), depending on
which report or graph you are looking at.

Throughput measurements will generally be quite less than the raw capacity
of a circuit. That's because they take into account the bytes and time used
for:

Headers
Inter-frame gaps
ACKs
Turn-around time at the client 
Turn-around time at the server

To determine if this circuit is healthy, do a show interface. Look for
errors.
