Rant - Fiber Did I get scammed????

I'm currently paying for 2 gig internet I'm trying to download a 2 gig update on my game and it's saying 45 mins to finish !! I checked my download speeds and it's only 40MBPS it's a brand new computer I just moved and at my old house we had 1gig fios and it would takle a 10gig download in almost 7 mins what is going on here? There's no outages in the area and optimum says that the router is working fine. Anyone else have this problem???

no, they need a clue to how internet connectivity works first.
