Wget can be used to measure download data rate. [snip] IMHO, wget thinks a MB is 2^20 (== 1MiB), instead of 10^6. This results in a 5% error. (Softlayer seems to have made the same error.)

If you are talking millions in currency, or objects you are talking about something that is a power of 10. If you are talking about millions in computer terms (ie. bytes), the value is a power of 2.
