with 4 mega bit up, you could run a HUGE server no problem

it is possible that your download number is also in mbit (4mbytes is 24 mbits) because the most I've seen for residential is 50 mbit which is only 12.5 mbyte download and for those they give a 1.5 upload (mbits)

there are 8 bits in every byte and the sales person on the phone doesn't know the difference between them
Comcast in PA offers 30mbit/5mbit down/up plans. It would not surprise me if he had a residential connection.
