I doubt this.
One Gig is 1000 or 1024 Megabytes, depending on who is measuring. Are you sure you don't mean Megs?

I am sure you know this and more than I.

Bits and bytes are different people, bits and bytes are different. Gbps != GB/s.

yep,
and the difference gets wider the higher you go

100 Gbps (Giga-bits per second)
is the same as
12 GBps (Giga-bytes per second)
