Le Misconception:
Internet speed is measured in Megabips
Files are measured in megabytes
30mpbs/s equates to ~3.75 megabytes/s
This is confusing and strange, but people believing that 30mbp/s = 30mb/s gets ISPs money because people believe they are getting faster speeds than they actually are

Hence why I said 20Mbps (Megabits/second), not 20MBps (MegaBytes/second)
