It’s quite common for people to misunderstand internet speeds. For example, people will think that having a 500Mbps connection means being able to download a 500MB file in 1 second, wrong! It takes 8 seconds. That’s what I explain in this video.

I feel very very educated hearing this today 😂😂… Am even embarrassed.. I now know better when subscribing to ISP bundle.. Cheers 🥂
awsome man, thanks
appreciate it
dude your thinking is complicated, just say that byte is 8 bits and the rest is obvious
Lol dell? You mean bell 😂
Brooo a legend
I work for an internet company and had noooooo idea what I was talking about 4 months in.
1 Gigabit/ sec = 1GB/ 8 seconds
1 Gigabyte/sec = 1GB / sec
You explained this concept like I have never seen. Thanks a million!
Not sure if you’ve gone a video on how processor and network card configurations affect speeds yet, but as a ISP installation technician I find customer purchase speed that their hardware isn’t designed to handle. About 80% of the time in commercial and residential settings they have 10/100 hardline cards or they have a 10/1000 card that isn’t configured properly. I’ve even seen customers with Gigabyte speed tiers with wireless cards that only transmit on 802.11e on a b/g/n modulation on only 20mhz. Putting rocket fuel in a “Geo-metro” won’t make it go any faster.if possible could you do a video on hardware optimization?
So very well explained. Thank You👍
Thankyou I am electronically challenged…..you made it easy to understand! Helps me pick the speed with my internet server…HmmmI’m 79 years young You can teach an old horse new tricks!
Lets say you buy 1000mbps, and you run speed test why is it only 100metes max scale on the speed test? Not 1000?
I'm embarrassed I never knew this until now. Thank you for the clear and beautiful explanation!
"Let's pretend I'm an average person" 🤣
Thank you very much , i understood it better than other people ,❤👍
Thanks so much. This is really helpful
Here is someone who has never used the internet at speeds greater than 1.5 mbps. Even getting 5 mbps is a pipe dream for me and yes, I live in the US, in the hills of Appalachia.
Fk all this time the higher the number the faster 😂 thank you!
can someone please explain the calculations to get 47.43 secs.. the last example with calculating speeds and time it takes to download
Great vid, thanks.
I have never clicked the subscribed button this fast
Wow seems like it's intentionally deceptive because if it says 500 megabits per second download it should be 500 megabits per second download the only reason that somebody made a standard of 8 seconds is to make it deceptive cuz 500 Mbps should be 500 megabits per second per second
Thank you so much for making this video you’re my new best friend
… nice video, you might add though that once you divide the value Mbps with 8, the resultant value now becomes MBps (i.e. 12.5MBps) which is in byte, essentially converting bits to byte much like feet to meters… cheers
7:08 How did you get 47 minutes for 50GB? Is it an estimation? When I used a calculator I got 44.44, in other words around 44 minutes.
There's a lot of ways people misunderstand internet speeds. I used to work as a cable technician for WOW internet and cable. Many customer will call in for technicians to come by because their bandwidth that they are paying for is not measured to what they expect. While the results is what it is, that doesn't mean close to what the customer is thinking. Speed results may come from connection physical link(s). Network interface devices and types. Wireless is always slower than 802.3 TIA copper standards. Wireless 802.11 types. Servers! Host devices! Services! Metrics of routing. Routers and or switches. Network settings and configuration, such as adaptive QoS or prioritization! Number of host receiving the broadcast. etc. The speeds your paying for is the throughput between your router into your isp connection router. The higher that throughput goes the more traffic can flow through the leg.
Question: for the last problem; did you mean 44.44 minutes or did I do the math wrong?
Sorry if this is a dumb question 😅 should g and m be capital or the casing doesn't matter?
Damn are you working out
Good video, I had no idea about this and now I learned. Thanks man!
Why didn't I found this channel before?
It's a must subscribed channel for tech enthusiasts. 👏
Babbling boolean dude you explain everything soo well I am sensing that your channel is going to trend. Just keep the number of uploads up.
As usual, stupid advertisement
Complain the speed about 5 years then realised
osm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
