Yeah 28k sounds more closer to what I got when things were going well. I also forget if they were tracking in lower case 'k' (x1000) or upper case 'K' (x1024) units/s which obviously has an effect as well.

The lower case "k" vs upper case "K" is an abomination. The official notation is lower case "k" for 1000 and lower case "ki" for 1024. It's an abomination too, but it's the correct abomination.

  • That's a newer representation, mostly because storage companies always (mis)represented their storage... I don't think any ISPs really misrepresent k/K in kilo bits/bytes

Line speed is always base 10. I think everything except RAM (memory, caches etc.) is base 10 really.
