The larger number is the connection to your switch or router. The two are really separate measures of speed.

1000Mbps is the total speed of the server . it is divided among the user's so if there are 100 0 user's each gets one mb speed
its a series connection

Think of bandwidth as a pipe. You have a pipe that allows 1000 M of water (bits) to flow, per second. However, you ISP will only send a max of 2 M per second, and allow you to send a max of 2 M per second.
2 Mbps is not bad at all though. You should note that in fact 1 Mbps = 1.000.000 bits per second, while a file of 1MB is actually 8 x 1.000.000 bits.

1000mb there is for LAN(local network access only) meaning pc to pc connection, 2 mb for internet access, these are 2 different things
