Useable data over a link depends on packet size.

	56 byte IP packets at X Mbps
	1500 byte IP packets at Y Mbps

This is then comparable across link technologies and framings used
on those technologies.

You can then compare a DSL vs GPON vs Cable as provided by the ISP
using Apples to Apples comparisons.
