Bits vs. bytes, again
Connections are sold in megabits (Mb); files are measured in megabytes (MB) — eight times larger. A 300 Mbps line moves at most 37.5 MB/s, so a 60 GB game needs about 27 minutes at full theoretical speed.
Why real downloads run slower
Server limits, Wi-Fi loss, protocol overhead, and shared household traffic typically cut throughput 30–50% below the plan's number. Wired ethernet, off-peak hours, and CDN-backed sources close most of the gap.
