Or just think of each number in KB/s divided by roughly a 1000.

Well SpeedTest is apparently in MBits or so it says on when you take the test, so assuming the Mini version uses the same method of making numbers bigger. Even so, that site never shows what your speed is actually.

I think what Tony was getting at was kibo vs kilo.  Or everyone here is just talking about two different things altogether. :P

KiloByte
KiloBit
KibiByte
KibiBit
