??? 7MB/s (that is 7Mbyte/s) is a usable value for a 100Mb/s (that is 100 
Mbits/s) connection! 100Mb/s translates to 12MB/s, 10Mb/s would be 1.2MB/s...

On a 1G network, you can get similar rates as with local hard disk, that is 
~100-120MB/s.

So on a 100Mb/s-network, the OP can't get higher transfer-rates then 12MB/s. 
Its the physical limit. 7MB/s is a good value.

Have fun,

Arnold
