Your ISP measures, and sells, bandwith in megaBITS per second, while Web Browsers and other software measure file downloads in megaBYTES per second.
Since there are 8 bits per byte, with some overhead for control and error correction, a 5 MegaBITS per second (5Mbs) internet connection _should_ download at about 500 kiloBYTES per second (5KBs).
Capital B for bytes, small b for bits.
If you are downloading files at 500KB/s on a 5Mbs connection, it is working fine.
Just divide the BITS per second of your connection by 10 to get the approximate BYTES per second you should be downloading at.
What else can I help you with?
The customer works from home needs the fastest possible upload and download speeds to access the company FTP server and lives in a very remote area where DSL or cable are not available?
The fastest download speeds for rural areas are available from HughesNet. Their fastest download speeds are 5MB per second which should be fine for FTP downloads and would be comparable to DSL or cable Internet service.

Why cant you download files which are more than 5mb?
I haven't experienced this problem myself, yet. However, there might be some sites that set a limit on your download limit. Maybe the site only allows you to download 5mb.

Is 725KB bigger than 5MB?
No, 725KB is not bigger than 5MB. In fact, 5MB is equivalent to 5,120KB, so 725KB is significantly smaller than 5MB.
How much left after 5mb -13.87kb?
5MB is 5 x 1024KB or 5120KB - therefore... 5MB-13.87KB is 5106.13KB or 4.986255MB
What is a major characteristic of asymmetric Internet service Download speeds and upload speeds are equal Download speeds are faster than upload speeds Data traffic speeds are faster than voice?
Suck my balls
What is the typical upload speed of a satellite a broadband connection?
broadband satellite is an alternative for customers who cannot get cable or DSL connections A satellite connection does not require a phone-line or cable, but uses a satellite dish for two way communication, download speeds are up to 500kbps: uploads are closer to 56kbps it takes time for the signal from the satellite dish to rely to your internet service provider (isp) through the satellite orbitting the earth.
