Because youre lucky to have good connection? Dont mix b (bit) and B (byte) and remember to count protocoll loss. That 210KB/s is normal.

I have a 1Mb ADSL and the best I get is 108 kb/s. It is perfectly normal.

You can do a speed test and compare them to others thanks to Ficora.

8 bits in 1 Byte

you have a 2 mega bit connection which is downloading at 210 kliobytes / sec (8x210 kilobytes = 1680 kilobits = 1.7 mega bits) ... pretty close.

Here’s an informative article which explains where that “missing” bandwidth went.
