... and of course they use megabits instead of megabytes, meaning it's a "gotcha": you have to remember to divide by 8, and of course those will be "short" megabits rather than "long" megabits, meaning you get, let's see now, 875 "short" or 854 "long" kilobytes per second if you switch to the cheaper plan.
