Original Note:
This post can be misleading. The internet speed is in Mbps (megabits per second), and a bit is ⅛ of a byte. So this does not mean you can download 17 megabytes in a second, but ⅛ of that. The correct speed is 2,1 MB/s (megabytes per second) https://blog.purestorage.com/purely-informational/understanding-digital-sizes-megabits-vs-megabytes-mbps-vs-mbps/#:~:text=To%20measure%20millions%20of%20bits,million%20bytes%2C%20or%208%20megabits.
