Your raw speed was 764839.51 bits per second.
There are 3 meaningful ways we can interpret this number:
Communications

764.8 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

93.4 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

11 seconds
The time it would take you to download a 1 megabyte file at this speed.
DSL Internet speeds in Eastern US
