Why is it a big deal? 2.5Gb takes like 20-30 seconds to download
Bold of you to assume internet access is great everywhere
I forget that some people have crazy fast internet. Mine downloads 2.5gb in like 20 minutes.
Until not that long ago, my average speed was less than 1 Mbps because of insufficient infrastructure in the area.
With speeds like that why haven't you downloaded a functioning brain yet?
2.5 GB in 30 seconds is 83 MB/s.
Or about 660 Mb/s, which is how we typically see download speeds written.
