A 4x increase for download and a 7x increase requirment for upload.
That’s a pretty solid one improvement, honestly. They also have plans on whne to increase it to 1Gbps down/500Mbps up, so it seems like they are taking it seriously.
Generally on hard drive/ssd capacity it will be listed in GiB (Gibibytes). This is the reason a 1 “Terabyte” drive is actually something like 931 GB showing in your system. Because your system uses GB and the manufacturer uses GiB.
He is right though on megabits to megabytes. Internet speed is advertised in bits/s where files and transfer speeds are usually shown in software as megabytes/s
It’s interesting. I have a remote place (not where I live) in the least populated, podunkest county in the state (which is saying something). And we were still able to get fibre and 50Mbps out there (and it could be higher, but not really worth the extra money since it’s rarely used).
Still within a couple hours of a big city, though. Guessing you’re further away than that, or something?
100Mb/s is still pretty abysmal.

It’s long overdue and gigabit should be standard
It is long overdue, as the last update was 2015. The GOP refused to do it, and it took some time to seat a new FCC head due to Republican obstruction.
Gigabyte is coming, just not yet. This is a fine incremental step.
Gigabit
We should’ve had it when we paid for it, instead of telecom execs pocketing the money.
100Mb/s is 800Mbps. This is 25Mbps to 100Mbps so 3.125mb/s to 8.33mb/s
Mbps = Mb/s = Megabits per second.
MBps = MB/s = Megabytes per second.
The p is just the /. It’s the capital or lowercase B that makes the difference.
Shit I found the one person who can actually remember the written difference bit and byte
As a computer engineer, I had better know. And don’t get me started on MiB vs MB
Please do I’d like to know more! ;)
kB = kilobytes = 1024 bytes
MB = megabytes = 1024 kB
kiB = kibibytes = 1000 bytes
MiB = mibibytes = 1000 kiB

1GiB = 1,000,000,000 bytes
1GB = 1,073,741,824 bytes
1 GiB =~ 0.931 GB
I hope ya know I was just messing with ya hahaha 🤣
You messed it up, actually - it’s the bi units that are 1024
Shit haha appreciate the correction. I fixed it.

lol I’ve never had anything over 12Mb/s. Currently have 8Mb/s, which costs roughly half than what I use to pay for 500kb/s
I would love to have 100Mb/s. Hell even half that.
Satellite?
DSL
I’m so sorry.

That’s enough to watch exactly one 1080p 30fps stream on YouTube and literally nothing else.
That’s why I stream 720p when I can lol
