You’re confusing bits with bytes. That’s 92 mega**bits** per second, where as the download speed is in mega**bytes** per second.

There’s 8 bits in a byte, so you convert mbps into MB/sec by dividing by 8.

92mbps / 8 = 10.25 MB/sec. Adjusting for overhead and connection to the server, 6-7 MB/sec is sounds normal, if a little on the slower side.
