This is normal and correct.

 

Steam and Chrome show download speeds in MB. Microsoft Store apparently in Mb.

MB vs Mb:

MB stands for megabyte, Mb for megabit. 1 megabyte contains 8 megabits, which means that 70Mb equals to 8,75MB. Keeping in mind some rounding up/down either way and the speed of the servers, that looks correct what you are getting.

When I download through the Microsoft store (say Forza updates) I get around 60-70mbps whereas on steam and chrome I barely ever go above 7mbps. Why is this the case?
