Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Mbps and MB/s?

Mbps (megabits per second) is how internet providers measure speed. MB/s (megabytes per second) is how file sizes are measured. 8 Megabits = 1 Megabyte.

How long does a 50 GB video game take to download on a 100 Mbps internet connection?

At 100 Mbps (~12.5 MB/s), downloading 50,000 MB takes roughly 4,000 seconds, which is approximately 1 hour and 6 minutes.
