To me these seem to be just two loosely related facts, the latter merely
supporting the notion that the network connection is capable of way more than
1Gbps. I don't see any "network calculations" being presented.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megabyte: "The megabyte is a multiple of the
unit byte for digital information. Its recommended unit symbol is MB."
MB/s is a long-accepted shorthand for Megabyte per second, and yes, Mb/s is
megabit per second. But please, take your "MiB" lunacy elsewhere.
