6 Mbps is the download speed. Your download is 29! Almost 5 times as fast. Your upload is 3.5 10times faster than mine!

ok so you can get 6 megabytes on a good day = 60 gigabytes

my house is 10 gig all the time or 1 mbs

rachaels house here now with infinity is 35 gigabytes or 3.5 mbs

Ah, 3.5MB/s not 3.5mbps.

3.5MB/s is actually 28mbps.  No idea where you got 35 gigabytes from :)
1MB/s is 8mbps.

Download is what counts that is why upload is usually slower. Check with the speed test at different times of day to get an overall picture but what you have there is flying.
Got to go to work now so will look back later. Take care both

Other way around, 1000 megabytes makes 1 gigabyte.

Speeds are measured in one of two ways, megabytes per second typically, say, 3.5MB/sec or megabits per second (mbps).

There are 8 bits in 1 byte, so if you have 3.5 megabytes per second you have 3.5 * 8 = 28 megabits per second.

If that speed test is done via wifi - I'd suggest that probably the wifi part of the link is the slowest. You might like to try again when it's plugged in.

Anyhow - that's blisteringly fast :D
