I guess they had to do a like for like comparison. The interviewer had been going all around the country downloading this file...it would have looked odd if he didn't do the same thing on the 50Mbps network. But there's no way it would have reached 50Mbps with such a relatively small file. Like a fast car, it would have still been accelerating when the download finished!
