No, that's 20Mbps.

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.

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?

(100 000 kbps / 8 = 12 500 / 1024 = 12,2 MB/s).
