Mind bit (b) vs byte (B): 1 byte = 8 bits. Internet plans are usually advertised in Mbps.

How the calculation works

The file (in megabytes) is converted to megabits (×8) and divided by the speed in Mbps: time = (size × 8) ÷ speed.

Frequently asked questions

Why is my download slower than my plan?

Because the plan is in megabits and files in megabytes (8×), plus network and server overhead.
