The yarn about 23MB/sec being too fast for download over the internet is utter BS. The so-called expert is full of it.
23MB is EASILY achievable with a standard business-class 1gbs internet access circuit and a relatively modern email server.
Even double that rate would be typical.
What is the top possible speed?
Somewhere around 16 megabytes per second. According to Skip Folden, a former IBM program manager and independent analyst, 22.7 megabytes per second is beyond unlikely under the circumstances–unless you’re downloading the files directly using a storage device like a USB drive.
Actually, the engineer freely admitted the speeds were possible to someone based on the east coast of the US. He was only indicating it wasn't possible for someone accessing it from Russia, which has been the supposed claim of Crowdstrike (the Ukranian-tied firm with an axe to grind with Russia, who was the only team allowed to review the server).
I ran a check on my own connection yesterday, avg. 22MB Download on a consumer connection. Much slower Upload , , ,
