He means 1.
1 megabyte per second (MBps) equals 8 megabits per second (Mbps).

Huh? Do you mean 8 instead of 1?
Yes, 8 megabits per second is 8,000 kilobits per second. 8 megabits per second is also 1 megabyte per second.

not exactly meaning and yeah it is below 8 megabytes but it is your meaning I just don't agree with it because I'm looking forward to maximum meaning.

It's quite simple. In the abbreviation, bytes is B and bits is b. 1 byte = 8 bits . 1MBps = 8Mbps, so 8Mbps = 1MBps, just as I said. HughesNet and most other ISPs advertise their speed in bits per second, not bytes per second. Most speed tests measure in bits per second (bps), but some also show bytes per second (Bps).
Now, we should probably allow this thread to continue with the OP's issue instead of filling it up with things unrelated.
Edit: Discussion has since been separated from the original topic and put into its own in the General section.
