    ~200kbps is the speed you are supposed to get from a 2Mbit connection. Before my upgrade I got ~210kbps.

    qwertz,

    Small "b" =>bits
    Large "B"=>Bytes

    "8 bits in a byte" so 200/8 is actually more like 25KB/s.

    Thats why I write kilobits per second as kbit/s, then there are no misunderstandings :)
