You didnt give much info on your problem. What are you trying to download from? Cox can only promise that speed on their network. The internet is national and even global, most of the times the limit isn't your download bandwidth down, but their bandwidth up.
Also sure it was 6-7Mbps and not 6-7MBps. 6-7MBps equals 48-56Mbps. 8 Mb for every 1 MB, roughly.

No, Mb not MB. Big difference.See here for speeds. Make sure you enter you zip code in the top right for speeds specific to your area. If your getting 6-7MB then your getting the full speed.
