Explained: Understanding Internet Speed

It's quite common for people to misunderstand internet speeds. For example, people will think that having a 500Mbps connection means being able to download a 500MB file in 1 second, wrong! It takes 8 seconds. That's what I explain in this video.

Babbling boolean dude you explain everything soo well I am sensing that your channel is going to trend. Just keep the number of uploads up.

7:08 How did you get 47 minutes for 50GB? Is it an estimation? When I used a calculator I got 44.44, in other words around 44 minutes.

[elsonsajan]

yessss... finally.... someone who actually emphasized the 'b' and the 'B'🙏👍...
wat u said in the video is very very true...a lot of people still don't realise the difference between the bit and byte symbols....
great video man...kudoos..👍

[paulonvula]

You explained this concept like I have never seen. Thanks a million!

[joellewis]

I showed this video and the linked video to my parents & they understood "Internet" faster than me explaining them from 15 years
Great video 😌

... nice video, you might add though that once you divide the value Mbps with 8, the resultant value now becomes MBps (i.e. 12.5MBps) which is in byte, essentially converting bits to byte much like feet to meters... cheers

Thanks so much. This is really helpful

[witchstriker]

Thank you very much, i understood it better than other people, ❤👍

[sanketh_br]

Sorry if this is a dumb question 😅 should g and m be capital or the casing doesn't matter?

[RRDavid]

can someone please explain the calculations to get 47.43 secs.. the last example with calculating speeds and time it takes to download

[jayantkumar]

Why didn't I found this channel before?
It's a must subscribed channel for tech enthusiasts. 👏

[janebingham]

Thankyou I am electronically challenged…..you made it easy to understand! Helps me pick the speed with my internet server…HmmmI’m 79 years young You can teach an old horse new tricks!

[EricSikalangwe-dded]

I feel very very educated hearing this today 😂😂... Am even embarrassed.. I now know better when subscribing to ISP bundle.. Cheers 🥂

Here is someone who has never used the internet at speeds greater than 1.5 mbps. Even getting 5 mbps is a pipe dream for me and yes, I live in the US, in the hills of Appalachia.

[Jaesiane]

I have never clicked the subscribed button this fast

Good Job. I need to understand why my internet is not constantly the same. Being the ONLY SOLE user. So I'ved watched all your videos over a week span. I have fibre connected. Devices such as Desktop PC and PS Console are connected via ethernet. Mobile phone is the only device that connects to WiFi. Over a few months I've captured screenshots of the low internet speeds at various times around the clock. If the internet had to be water. the pressure of the stream would go up and drip drip drip and go wondered if electricity would run from the internet.... how everything will just shut down some random server had to be restarted in some part of the world. my ISP is a well established ISP. could others have the same problem. could it just be shitty ISP issued router?
