Hi im the only one on my network and when i do a speedtest, i get the results i pay for 5mbps download and 700kbps upload but when i download on steam i only get 650kbps download why is this? My hub in the new BT box. Here is some evidence.

Capitals matter. A byte (B) is 8x the size of a bit (b).

650 kB/s is 5.2Mb/s.

heres a bandwidth converter site you can use http://web.forret.com/tools/bandwidth.asp

Like Someone Somewhere said, the letters matter to help distinguish between bits and Bytes. Its just the way it is to not confuse between the two b's, Bytes being the greater has the capital letter.
