How Is This Calculated?

We use the standard formula: Time = File Size ÷ Speed

The tricky part is unit conversion. ISPs advertise speed in Megabits per second (Mbps), but file sizes are in Megabytes (MB) or Gigabytes (GB). Since 1 Byte = 8 bits:

• File size: 1 GB = 8,192 Megabits

• Speed: 500 Mbps

• Time: 8,192 ÷ 500 = 16 seconds ≈ 16 seconds
