Re: Excuse the dense question!
Its probably half a megabyte
I read somewhere that TF aren't capable of supplying high megabyte connections rurally because of the exchanges, but I don't know that for sure.

If you don't really know what they are, then really it doesn't matter whether it's bits or bytes. All that does matter is that it's a fast connection. Even a half meg is reasonable.

The first one is just plain wrong - the second says it is Megabits.
If you do a bit more research you will find that it is megabits.
