This is a BITS vs. BYTES question.
I think Wi-Fi is 56 megabits per second, meaning it is 7 megabytes per second (8 bits are in a byte), but with my cable internet I never download quicker than about 700 Kilobits per second, and even this speed occurs very very rarely.

Megabits. When you see the abbreviation mbps (lower case) then it is talking about megabits. MBps (capitalized MB), is megabytes per second. Depending on what your cable connection speed is, 700KBps may not be too bad. I have a 3.0MBps cable connection, and I usually download at around 1.6MBps. If you have a 768 or 1MB cable or DLS connection, then 700kbps is not bad. If you need to check the speed of your connection, check the link listed in source.

56 Megabits per second. (Mega = millions)
Your (known) bottleneck is the 700k, which is typical for cable companies.
