You do not have a 24 MB connection.. You have 24 Mb.
MB = Megabyte
Mb = Megabit
There are 8 Mb to a MB... so you are downloading at around 22Mb of your 24Mb connection.
A common misconseption and one internet companies like to pray on.
I have an 8Mb connection... Thus my DL speed is max 1MB
Edit: Why get a mac? For £1000 mac you can get the same specs as a £550windows(with dedicated graphics card!) Unless you need it for video or music tediting then fair enough.0
