The fastest connection ever seen!!!

Thats only ~2.5MBps.
You can get 10MBps (100Mb) cheaply in Sweeden and HK.

If you look in brakets it says (2000Kb/s) which means kilobits per second as opposed to 2000KB/s which would be kilobytes per second, but on the other hand it gives two values (of which I was going by the second, asuming it was the right one, but that was also labled Kb). But on the other hand, the value in brackets is probably actually the estimated overhead.

But to the point, 20000Kb/s (Kilobits per second, divided by eight to give KiloBytes) is 2500KB/s, which in turn is 2.44MB/s (divide KiloBytes by 1024 to get MegaBytes a second). So, yes, I was right.

2.44 MegaBytes a second.

Yes, but you also mentioned that you can get 10mbps connections in Sweden cheaply, but that's 10mbit/s, not 10mbyte/s. They have started to (or will soon) offer 100mbit/s to a select few who have ethernet connections in their apartments but the cost is ~€100/month and a maxmimum download of 300Gb per month.

Try reading my post. I said you can get 10MB connections, not 10Mb. People really need to get their case right, one is eight times smaller or bigger than the other.

I mean that I am sure I have read about being able to get 10MB (100Mb) internet connections in sweeden. Not cheaply, but also not obscenely expensive either.

Ok, now I'm nitpicking, but isn't a 100mbit/s connection equal to ~12MB/s?

Yeah, I just don't normally bother dividing by 8 unless I am being exact as it's easier to do 10 (although in this case it was because it was 10s and 100s).
