I agree about the milli prefix (I hate its misuse guts, too), but netadmins write the unit designation as either "Mb/s" or "Mbit", so among them it's kind of jargon to talk about "megabits" when one means "megabits per second". Jargon has this weird property of often being incorrect terminology. But while I would accept that from a network engineer, I don't know what background the author has.
