We can always use DIV_ROUND_UP((speed * enc_nominator),
enc_denominator). I think this is confusing and since this introduces a
bandwidth limit I would prefer to give a wider limit than a wrong one,
even it is by less than 1Mb/s. My vote is for leaving it as you wrote below.

I don't know what's better but for network devices we measure bandwidth
in Gb/s, so presenting bandwidth in MB/s would mean additional
calculations. The truth is I would have prefer to use Gb/s instead of
Mb/s, but again, don't want to loss up to 1Gb/s.
