Your raw speed was 1638941.8 bits per second.
There are 3 meaningful ways we can interpret this number:

Communications

1.6 megabits per second

How communication devices are rated. Kilo means 1,000 and mega means 1,000,000. Examples include 56k modem and 10Mbit Ethernet

Storage

200.1 kilobytes per second

The way data is measured on your hard drive and how FTP programs measure transfer speeds. Kilo is 1,024 and mega is 1,048,576.

1MB file download

5.1 seconds

The time it would take you to download a 1 megabyte file at this speed.

Right on the mark. It's probably faster for me right now than normally because it's after midnight, and there aren't many people in my area awake at this time.
