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: 5 GB = 40,960 Megabits

• Speed: 20 Mbps

• Time: 40,960 ÷ 20 = 2048 seconds ≈ 34 minutes 8 seconds
