I think your mistaken 3.1 mb/s is horrible. But 3.1 MB is amazing.

Mb/s - Per second.
3.1 mb/s and 3.1 MB are exactly the same but he's telling you that it's per second.

This is a common mistake made by many. Yes, this is confusing. The little 'b' is for 'bit'. The capital 'B' is for 'Byte'. Hence, Mb and MB are abbreviations for the smaller vs. larger data sizes. So Mb/s is Megabits-per-second and MB/s is Megabytes-per-second.


But yes it's about average for the UK's speeds.
