How come iwconfig bitrate output is proved wrong by current download rate?

When I run
iwconfig
I get
Bit Rate:1 Mb/s Tx-Power=22 dBm
Retry short limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
and more. Running a download at the same time, Firefox reports a download rate of 1.8Mbit/s. What does iwconfig report? Is it some kind of nominal rate?

Not sure which bitrate that is, esp. as there can be different transmit and receive bitrates. Useiw wlan0 station dumpto get both bitrates. Also note the bitrate can change on demand/due to current noise environment.
