Work it out manually or type this into google "convert 200 Gigabytes / 2000 hours into Megabits/sec" and you do not get "100MBps"

What even is MBps? Megabytes per second? Or do you mean Megabits per second - Mbps - the more universal measurement?

The result is 0.222222222 Megabits / second (or 0.0277777777 Megabytes / second if that's what you're into), many orders of magnitude different - less - to what you quote above.
