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: 20 GB = 163,840 Megabits

• Speed: 500 Mbps

• Time: 163,840 ÷ 500 = 328 seconds ≈ 5 minutes 28 seconds
