You probably meant 3.7MB/s from Nvidia which is right at 30Mb/s and exactly what you are paying for.

Outside of the conversion the download rate also depends on where you are downloading from as it can only run as fast as they can send regardless of your actual download speed.

1. Please enhance your english.
2. Wherever I download, it's 3.7MB/s.

Best solution

3.7 MB\s is 29.6 Mb\s so you are getting very close to what you are supposed to be getting ! --- there is a big difference in "B"ytes vs. "b"its when it comes to speed ---- 8 bits make 1 Byte so 3.7 MB is equal to 3.7 x 8 = 29.6 Mb\s -- speed test reports report in Bytes where internet suppliers sell in bits so they can advertise faster speeds (sounds better to say 30 Mb\s instead of 3.7 MB\s even though they are approx the same !!)
