Bits are not bytes. Mbit/s is not the same as MB/s.

One byte (octet) is 8 bits.

25 Mbit/s (or Mbps, or Mb/s, or mega_bits_ per second) equals to 3.125
MB/s (mega_bytes_ per second). Whatever more there is to it must be
either overhead from wrapper formats and such, or a notational
discrepancy (sometimes megabytes are counted as 1000*1000 bytes,
sometimes as 1024*1024 bytes, sometimes you see truncated byte counts
represented with decimal points as if they were decimal numbers etc.).
Or both.
