There are 3 meaningful ways we can interpret this number:
Communications
213.2 kilobits 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
26 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
39.4 seconds
The time it would take you to download a 1 megabyte file at this speed.
Cable Internet speeds in Australia
average
your speed
56k modem
compared to all connection types worldwide yours is average

39.4? Hmmmmm....I thought mine was fast, it's just over 56K speed  |

my turn
my connection = Comcast cablemodem, run at 5.55 AM EST 
"Your raw speed was 4675622.64 bits per second."
570.8 kilobytes per second
1 MB = 1.8 Secs.
and the magic 8 ball says....
