How it is calculated

  1. Time = size in bits ÷ speed in bits per second.
  2. 1 byte = 8 bits; 1 GB = 1,000,000,000 bytes.

Example

5 GB at 100 Mbit/s: 40,000,000,000 bits ÷ 100,000,000 = 400 s, i.e. 6 min 40 s.

Good to know

  • Theoretical time: real speed is often lower (Wi-Fi, server, busy network).
