Why does Speedtest say i am getting a ~7 Mbps, but i am getting peak download speeds of ~1 MB/s?

So i ran a speedtest test and it said i got 7.68 Mbps, but i usually get a little around 1 MBps max download speed? I assume Mbps is Megabits and MBps is Megabytes and they are very different in rates? Is that why there is such a difference?

Yes they are incredibly different in terms of speed.

For example, I pay for 50 megabits, but usually get 60+, and my download speeds will peak at ~8 megabytes.
