No, it's most certainly *NOT* it. This is not a case of buyers remorse, it's like selling an antique vase on eBay "as is", and then sending them a new one, smashed, with a sheet indicating you knew it was new and smashed to begin with. It's fraud. AS IS means there is no warranty against damage you didn't know about, and you not only knew about it, you lied about the status of it. There's a difference between omitting data, and making a complete misrepresentation. When you knowingly lie in a business dealing, that is fraud. It's not just "oops, I forgot to mention it's scratched", it's "oops, it's not a blue car, it's a box of fire ants." You give eBay a bad name.
Your raw speed was 3355558.56 bits per second.
There are 3 meaningful ways we can interpret this number:
Communications
3.4 megabits 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
409.6 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
2.5 seconds
The time it would take you to download a 1 megabyte file at this speed.

I got a call from the person who colocates my server in his basement. He told me that his neighborhood has been without power for a half an hour, and the UPS can only hold for probably another 20 minutes. (yes, he has very nice UPS equipment) :->
It just died.
*pout*
Ahh well. I'm about to go to bed anyway, and my backup MX is working fine now, so no harm done, really.
Kinda glad he told me though, I like finding out this way rather than calling him.
