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: 40 GB = 327,680 Megabits
• Speed: 50 Mbps
• Time: 327,680 ÷ 50 = 6554 seconds ≈ 1 hour 49 minutes
