He said "15000 Mbps ::: 1831.05 MB/sec" which I think he meant he has 15000Kbps or 15Mbps, which would be about 1.8 MB/sec.
What's the average connection in England, and what do you have?

Average connection in the U.K at the moment seems to be 8/0.5, which I'm on at the moment, last year I was on 16/1 though. You can get up to 24 or 25 I believe though.
Synbios:
I can't really say what an average is here, but I have 5/.5 at my apartment in Worcester when I'm at school. My parents have 8/.768 with 16/2 speedboost (runs at faster for first 100 megabytes) so I use that when I'm back home.
The most residential right now is about 30/20 but that's only with fibre. Pretty soon there will be much more fibre deployment and with DOCSIS 3.0 coming out, I suspect the averages should be going up quite a bit.

Anyhoo there's a simple conversion calculator you can use to identify what you may be getting for what your paying for:

And here would be my Kb\KB or kb\KB: 15Mbps\2Mbps (15,000,000\2,000,000) = 1831.05MB\244.14MB

Somehow I don't think 15Mbps = 1831.05 MBps :P :P

Oh that's an oversight on Quantums part. I did not type 15Mbps = 1831.05MBps; here's what I did type - "15Mbps\2Mbps (15,000,000\2,000,000) = 1831.05MB\244.14MB" although I should have stated bits back there in parenthesis :P

:( it still doesn't seem to make any kind of sense, there's no way that 15'000'000 bits = 1831.05MBs
Synbios:
15Mbps\2Mbps (15,000,000\2,000,000) = 1831.05MB\244.14MB
The left side is right, 15M is 15 million, but the right side is wrong. I'm not sure what you're using for your calculation but it's probably something simple that you're missing.
