Is USB 2.0 faster than Firewire?

Why the hell do they say USB2.0 is 480mbps when it only ends up being 40mbps on average?

USB1.1 = ~1MB/s
USB2.0 = ~5MB/s

A far cry from the claimed 60 MB/s of USB2.0.

Is it going to get better or is this just going to be a perpetual lie of USB2.0?

Not so much a lie as a misconception. I think the trouble is that the oft-published transfer rate for USB 2.0 is the *burst* rate. But it doesn't matter, Firewire 800 renders it moot. ;)
