2 Mbps will go into Internet
Explanation:
Options to define this:
1.of which, 2Mbps will go into Internet
2.of which, 2Mbps will be allocated to Internet
3. of which, 2Mbps will be used up by Internet
In English, contra(against) is equally valid;
4.of which, 2Mbps will go against Internet

2Mbps is the bandwidth of a data line,probably a leased line, of which a bandwidth of 2Mbps is being used up for Internet. In leased lines, the highest bandwidth available as on date(at least in India) is 2Mbps. So here, the entire bandwidth is going for Internet usage and nothing for intranet etc.
