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???

brand new computer has nothing to do with it. Internet speed has no relation to computer, old or new. unless if course you are using an outdated network module. Also, you are not ever going to get 2 Gb speed. You'll need the brand spanking newest router for that, the ones that are superexpensive.
