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: 500 MB = 4,000 Megabits

• Speed: 250 Mbps

• Time: 4,000 ÷ 250 = 16 seconds ≈ 16 seconds
