Because it tests in Mb (note the capitalization), whereas you download in KB/MB. 2Mb = 250KB. Divide your bits by 8 to get your bytes.

That is due to the way the internet markets itself
They tell you your speed on Bits and not Bytes.
A bit is the smallest storage data that can hold either 0 or 1.
A Byte is the smallest storage unit that holds 8 bits.

If I have little hunger, I will only eat a Bit
If I am really hungry, I will take a Byte.

:/

I know...not funny.

I guess using bits makes more sense anyway. There are systems that have bytes not equal 8 bits. When measuring in bytes, browsing the internet from such a system would then make your internet speed faster or slower which makes no sense at all since the same amount of bits is transfered.
