No, physical storage media is always in bytes. Bits refers to a stream-rate. Stream rates can also be converted to bites from bits by dividing by eight.
3:43 it is said that a floppy is 1.4Mb. This is incorrect. You will have 1.44MB, which is 11.52Mb. In this video, semantics are very important as the distinction was made toward the beginning of the video.
+Alex Childs At 1:06 he pulls up a SD card, and says it's also in bits. This is almost always false. You probably already know this, but to any passerby, the bits vs bytes measurement isn't entirely marketing based. Telecommunications measure in bits because it's the logical format, how many times can we turn a signal on and off in one second. Storage logically uses bytes because that's what data is stored in, a hard drive doesn't count how many zeros and ones it holds, it counts how many bytes (clusters of 255 values including zero) it can hold, since data is stored as bytes.
Finally somebody who clarifies the REAL value of the Internet speed. I always smile when I hear somebody in tv or in the radio advertising internet packages saying they have 75Megabytes per second. I'm like what? Thats wrong. Where I live, they have speeds up to the Gigabit/s. Can you imagine downloading 1 Gygabyte per second. You can download a movie (800mb) in an eight of a second. However, since I know that is not true, with a gigabit internet package it would take me 6.4 seconds to download. Still fast, but its actually 8 times slower.
This video covers a lot of technical details but my main purpose for watching it was to figure out which Internet provider is best for me. When choosing an Internet provider, what info is the most important to look at? What should the numbers look like?

Makes perfect sense. Thanks for all the assistance. Really appreciate your commitment to your viewers. I'll be contacting my apartment office and my internet provider to see what I can do to increase my connection speed.
Subscribed. Thank you so much man.I've been wondering how this works for a long time now and you made it clear as day. I'll be watching all of your video throughout the future
I really liked the way you presented the information! Thanks for helping me better understand internet speed and some of the variables along with it. It gives some idea of how it actually works.
As the product is quoted.. It's a Arris / Motorola SURFboard SB5101U DOCSIS 2.0 Cable Modem. I suppose the added "based on your Cable provider service" makes a difference there. Yeah?
the skype video clarification was very helpful. thank you . QUESTION: now how does one try and get that service of uploading data at a faster speed or even match the same speed as what is advertised from the internet providers?
There usually isn't much you can do yourself to get your advertised speed. If you disconnect everything from your modem/router, and make sure your computer is plugged directly into your modem/router, with a wire (not wirelessly) and run a speed-test, and you arent getting your advertised speed (up or down), you have to call your internet provider and complain - and depending on how close you are to that advertised speed they may or may not do anything. If when plugged-in directly to your modem/router you get faster speeds than with "everything else" plugged in, then you have some troubleshooting/fixing to do - that troubleshooting is far beyond the scope of a comment on TH-cam - but you could post your question(s) at GrownUpGeek.com for more help. If you want MORE speed, higher than your advertised speed, you have to call your provider and throw more money at them.
Why the vast majority of home internet connections across the globe are asymmetric? I.E. Why upload speeds are usually significantly lower than download speeds? (My is: 200 download / 5 upload Mb) Thanks for this video. People need to know this!
im not sure if my father and mother would understand this... but i will try my best to explain this to them... i am very-very-very grateful because i bumped to your video... now i know... thanks a bunch, even so this was a 2013 video, it is still useful... for my I.T assignment XD hahahaha
thanks a whole heap! I now understand much more. But please tell me: I live on a sloping street which is the only access into the village. The slope is, say, 3km long and I live two thirds of the way down. The broadband connection site is at the top of that sloping street, so it is about 2km up the hill from me. From your analogy of pipes, I understand that there is a nice large, wide pipe up to the top of the hill. But that from the top of the hill down to my house, irrespective of whether I have fibre-optic or not, I am still relying only on the small pipe which feeds down the street to the village. So then all the information floods quickly from the broadband providers to the top of the hill but at that point dams up and is only released slowly through the small pipe which takes the info down to the individual houses!? If this is so, how will I benefit from fibre-optic?Your help is very much appreciated and I hope you can find the time to reply. John.
Hi, thank you very much for your video. I understood a lot more about the internet. :) I have recently run an internet speed test on my computer and the results are Ping = 19ms, Download: 18.13 Mbps, Upload: 2.84 Mbps. How would you interpret these results? Is there a range of 'Good' or 'Bad' for each of the internet speed factors (i.e. Ping, Download and Upload)?
In general, the faster the download & upload speed the better (bigger the number). Obviously, the lower the ping number is better because it is a measurement of how long in time it takes for a small packet to be sent and receive back. Under 100ms is okay. As for the download and upload speed, it's like asking if a Small size t-shirt is good or bad...which doesn't make sense. It's good if you're small and bad if you're a large person. So, 18.13Mbps download is good if you subscribes (paying for that level of service) to a 12Mbps service. It's bad if you paid for a 25Mbps service and only getting 18.13 Mbps. The same logic applies to the upload. Now, if you're asking if 18Mbps download speed is good enough for you or you & your family's needs. It depends! It's like asking if a 30gal garbage can is good enough for your family or should you get the larger 45 gal. garbage can. It depends on how much you need. If you're a single person (no family), in general the smallest 30gal can will do. If you have 4 or 5 members in the family, you'll most likely need a 45gal can. So, the same is with the level of service for internet access you buy. 18Mbps download for 4 people each watching a 2 hr. high def movie at the same time (each will take up around 4-5Mbps). Think about how many PC's and cell phone will be used at the same time as well. But don't over subscribe as it'll cost for that level of service and you might never need that extra level of bandwidth.
Grate video but I would like to know what is the average speed that is okay to keep thing running smoothly. I guess what I am asking is what should the speed test results be for everything to work smoothly
For a conference of 1000 attendees (computer using educators) accessing websites, using google apps, uploading and working in the cloud - what Internet speed should a conference centre provide?
Thank you so much for your excellent presentation and making internet speed more understandable. Trying to lower my internet bill, due to unemployment. Right now paying TWC 60 dollars monthly for 100MBPS. My main use of the computer is internet research, emails, sending some photos, and use TH-cam to look stuff up. Would I be able to do all this if I downgrade to 35MBPS? Thank you so much again!
From what he says ; You are going to be more concerned with you upload speed . 35MBPS is still super fast for browsing the internet . Go to speedtest.com
How many wires must be connected for internet to work correctly on telephone in black cable you have 2 main wires but can I caonnect more than 4 cable so quality will be better because all 6 difrent wires are connected on 1 copper pair so 1-twisted pair haves 2 elementary wires which ends on Rj 11.? ?
thank you for very good video, basic information, very useful, I would like to ask that I am going to do comparison of broadband services provided by different companies in UK. what do u suggest to work on? e.g. bandwidth, uploading, downloading, DSL, asynchronous etc . I look forward to hearing form you Regards
So what does internet speed depend on? And well, i have another question that maybe not right to post here. Why do we need electrical teminator for coax cable? I think you can help so...
How do you work out the upload speed I dont want to purchase a WiFi modem if the upload speed is still slow All internet providers talk in 3g or 4g not Mbps
What are units of bandwidth and speed of internet? If ISP is offering 30Mbps is it speed or bandwidth? If ISP offers 30Mbps for 100 members and all 100 members are using 30Mbps does it cause congestion like pipe illustration in the video? Or it should not ? as every one is allotted separate speeds/bandwidth (30Mbps).
Now, I also need to create a wireless home network for my apartment unit. I see router speeds ranging from 300 to a gigabit (~1000) Mbps. So, factors in play.. My ISP speed, the speed (pipe size) of servers I'm connecting to, my modem, and my router... Second question: does the speed of my router actually matter? Obviously I shouldn't buy a router with a speed
Thank you for the video. I have been struggling trying to determine how much bandwidth a particular company needs; WAN as well as Internet bandwidth. Is there a formula I can use to determine the size of the pipes needed? Thank you
Right. Got ya. Averaging multiple speed tests, it appears my download speed is 2.9 Mbps with an upload speed of 0.4 Mbps.... Looking rather dismal. So purchasing a 600 Mbps router would effectively do very little with my present ISP.
As long as your router is at least as fast as your internet connection, anything faster only matters if you have multiple people connecting to the router so that the router does not become a bottleneck...
Hello, I liked your internet speed explanation vidio, but something confuses me: we have internet packages 100/3 and 100/30mbps, 50/3 and 50/30mbps, 73/35mbps, are those /30 or /3 or /35 related to upload speed? Thank You in advance.
Still though, the issue remains quite curious. The US average internet connection speed is 7.4 Mbps. Why then do companies provide routers in the range of the few hundreds to 1000 Mbps? Wouldn't any router be limited by the (let's say average) 7.4 internet speed from their provider?
thank you for that. Just one more question .Data from internet have deferent value than Data from hard drive.? Example when you make a partition in hard drive if you work your amount of Data as you say 1000 MB =1 GB it won't give you an exact number of GB if you work out as 1024MB=1GB it will give you an exact number. Meaning value there different then?
ok question: if my internet speed is 25 megabits per second download and 10 megabits per second upload, would a 150 megabits per second usb wireless adapter be sufficient to take advantage of my download/upload speeds? ie. no limitations on the usb receiver causing it to receive only a portion of my maximum download and upload capacity.
I like to play games on my pc and console. Not really looking to undersand why... but I would like to know what the best, for a reasonable price, internet speed/modem/router specs i should get. I use wireless for pc gaming normaly, and console is hard wired. price not a huge issue within reason.I am normaly playing the newer games on the market. Thanks for any advice!!
The "Ping" is the amount of time a small message (a 'ping') takes to get from your computer to the server you are communicating with. It is a measure of the time it takes to get from here, to there. The longer the ping-time the more lag or delay you might see when doing time-sensitive things like streaming video or playing online games. The lower the 'ping', the better.
my question is whats the average download speed if someone has a 50mb connection. like it someone was to do a speed test what range should they get for eg. if you have a 50mb and you did a speed test and got 10mb only something would be wrong right? or is it always depend on the water pipes.
Regarding 3 min 30 sec - Assume file size of the camera = 1 MB. Then the file size in Mbits is 1 x 8 = 8Mb 8 * 1024 = 8192 Kb. We can download at 56Kb/s, therefore, 8192 / 56 = 146. That is, we can download the file in 146 seconds or a bit more than 2 minutes.
I just want internet speed that can watch videos on HD. Also I hope download speed is like in 15 seconds, TONS OF MBS is downloaded, then a few seconds later 1GB is done. I also hope upload is like 10mins on a 10gb file. I just want a fast internet speed. Hopefully.
2:55 even if you wanna download a 10MB (biggest size) camera picture with a 56K modem, you need about 24 minutes. Not an hour, as you say. And that's because: 10MB=80,000,000bits 80,000,000/56,000=1426sec 1428/60=23,8min
I got a question. im currently running wireless internet bertram wireless. and i hate its speed, im a gamer and is there anything faster internet. I live in a rural area and cable internet is not offered in my area. please help
3:30 you say that a picture that is 3 MB equal to 3000 KB equal to 24000 Kb (kilobit) and the modem download at 56 Kb (kilobit) per second, then those 24000 could be downloaded (24000/56) in 428 seconds equal to 7 minutes aproximately, why did you say it would take one hour ? Maybe I didn't understand the concepts or maybe there was an error
Totally different but it's like playing a game that supports 60 fps (frames per second) but the tv has 30 fps so you will only experience 30 fps playing
sir i am going to start new broadband company bandwidth provider me sharing ratio please how can i count sharing ratio they are providing 10:1 sharing ratio please sir i dont konw about that please sir can you clear me
So if I'm streaming my gaming session to twitch and my roomate is complaining about bandwith usage for his downloads, is that a valid argument since it is an asynchronous connection? or does one bandwith affect the other?
If you have a download speed rate of 512KBps that is a bandwidth of 4mbps, does it mean you are downloading a data of 512KB every second?? I have been observing my network, and my download speed rate shown in my downloader is not equivalent to the actual being downloaded. My downloader may show a download speed of 300KBps, but the data downloaded in that second will be about 200KB.
My internet provider is telling me that the 66 mbps I contracted with them is only coming in at about 19 mbps (wireless) because of outside environmental factors and they can't do anything about it. I don't believe them and I want to know if I am correct on that assumption.
Wireless service is prone to all kinds of external factors and variables. If repositioning your receiving equipment does not improve the speed, then your choices are to live with it or take your business elsewhere.
One thing you could is, connect through Ethernet and run a speed test again. Your service provider is able to run the speed directly from the modem as well. So connect through Ethernet to a laptop or computer, then run a speed test directly connected to the modem. If you notice the speeds are under then you're in the right to complain to your service provider
Grown Up Geek Thank you for the reply!! On my opinion, I agree with you if this has to do ONLY with the ISP company and not its customers. But, if it has to do with the customers too, ISP company could have a variety of lines and prices (cheap lines tuned up as nowadays and more expensive lines for those who are interested in a bigger upload bandwidth for e.g. HD Video, on-line gaming, video conferencing, Skype-ing, Teamviewer-ing, etc).

You probably already know this, but to any passerby, the bits vs bytes measurement isn't entirely marketing based.

Storage logically uses bytes because that's what data is stored in, a hard drive doesn't count how many zeros and ones it holds, it counts how many bytes (clusters of 255 values including zero) it can hold, since data is stored as bytes.

Helped me answer a few questions I needed explained in a little more in detail. Great illustrations. Thx
as a gamer and streamer, upload speed is extremely important which also limits my choice of isp :(
okay! thanks you answered my question
No Overheads need!!! A sent and A received. Thanks 10/10 that's 1010.
Informative, thanks a lot.
it help me understand what my internet is at in terms of speed
You got it!
The download speed is always first. so 50 over 25 = 50/25 = 50mb download speed, 25mb upload.. which, if is true, is AWESOME speed!

Hi, thank you very much for your video. I understood a lot more about the internet. :)
I have recently run an internet speed test on my computer and the results are Ping = 19ms, Download: 18.13 Mbps, Upload: 2.84 Mbps. How would you interpret these results? Is there a range of 'Good' or 'Bad' for each of the internet speed factors (i.e. Ping, Download and Upload)?
In general, the faster the download & upload speed the better (bigger the number). Obviously, the lower the ping number is better because it is a measurement of how long in time it takes for a small packet to be sent and receive back. Under 100ms is okay. As for the download and upload speed, it's like asking if a Small size t-shirt is good or bad...which doesn't make sense. It's good if you're small and bad if you're a large person. So, 18.13Mbps download is good if you subscribes (paying for that level of service) to a 12Mbps service. It's bad if you paid for a 25Mbps service and only getting 18.13 Mbps. The same logic applies to the upload. Now, if you're asking if 18Mbps download speed is good enough for you or you & your family's needs. It depends! It's like asking if a 30gal garbage can is good enough for your family or should you get the larger 45 gal. garbage can. It depends on how much you need. If you're a single person (no family), in general the smallest 30gal can will do. If you have 4 or 5 members in the family, you'll most likely need a 45gal can. So, the same is with the level of service for internet access you buy. 18Mbps download for 4 people each watching a 2 hr. high def movie at the same time (each will take up around 4-5Mbps). Think about how many PC's and cell phone will be used at the same time as well. But don't over subscribe as it'll cost for that level of service and you might never need that extra level of bandwidth.
What's does one mega bites mean. Will I be able to use my
Apple TV or will it be to slow.

This video is just amazing. Very clear. I do like it so much!
Great job!
Grate video but I would like to know what is the average speed that is okay to keep thing running smoothly. I guess what I am asking is what should the speed test results be for everything to work smoothly
That question is impossible to answer without knowing what it is you do/use your internet for..
Its kinda like asking "how long is a piece of string?"

As long as your router is at least as fast as your internet connection, anything faster only matters if you have multiple people connecting to the router so that the router does not become a bottleneck...
4:30 the internet is a series of tubes. If you know you know.
Heyyy if you reading this 5 years later
your a legend of shits
Hello, I liked your internet speed explanation vidio, but something confuses me: we have internet packages 100/3 and 100/30mbps, 50/3 and 50/30mbps, 73/35mbps, are those /30 or /3 or /35 related to upload speed? Thank You in advance.
Still though, the issue remains quite curious. The US average internet connection speed is 7.4 Mbps. Why then do companies provide routers in the range of the few hundreds to 1000 Mbps? Wouldn't any router be limited by the (let's say average) 7.4 internet speed from their provider?
excellent
thank you for that.
Just one more question .Data from internet have deferent value than Data from hard drive.?
Example when you make a partition in hard drive if you work your amount of Data as you say 1000 MB =1 GB it won't give you an exact number of GB if you work out as 1024MB=1GB it will give you an exact number.
Meaning value there different then?
ok question: if my internet speed is 25 megabits per second download and 10 megabits per second upload, would a 150 megabits per second usb wireless adapter be sufficient to take advantage of my download/upload speeds? ie. no limitations on the usb receiver causing it to receive only a portion of my maximum download and upload capacity.
I like to play games on my pc and console. Not really looking to undersand why... but I would like to know what the best, for a reasonable price, internet speed/modem/router specs i should get. I use wireless for pc gaming normaly, and console is hard wired. price not a huge issue within reason.I am normaly playing the newer games on the market. Thanks for any advice!!
Great Job,1 question though?What means the ping on speedtest?
The "Ping" is the amount of time a small message (a 'ping') takes to get from your computer to the server you are communicating with. It is a measure of the time it takes to get from here, to there. The longer the ping-time the more lag or delay you might see when doing time-sensitive things like streaming video or playing online games. The lower the 'ping', the better.
You're good! I think I've got it .... for now, anyway. I'll check back when I get confused again. Thanks 1926lady
my question is whats the average download speed if someone has a 50mb connection. like it someone was to do a speed test what range should they get for eg. if you have a 50mb and you did a speed test and got 10mb only something would be wrong right? or is it always depend on the water pipes.
I'm thinking about lowering my sisters internet, but i want to leave some kb/sec so she could use skype, How much should i give her?
Amazing .Great explanation
I am sure most wish to know how to increased their internet speed...if you can explain that, would be good.
To increase your internet speed you call your internet provider and tell them you want it faster, then give them more $$ !
Regarding 3 min 30 sec -
Assume file size of the camera = 1 MB.
Then the file size in Mbits is 1 x 8 = 8Mb
8 * 1024 = 8192 Kb.
We can download at 56Kb/s, therefore, 8192 / 56 = 146. That is, we can download the file in 146 seconds or a bit more than 2 minutes.
Exactly. I was thrown off by the over 1 hr download time when I ran the numbers too. I think that was a mistake.
I had to replay it to try and make sense of the numbers because it didn't match my calculation...
great! how about the characteristic of a fibre channel?
I just want internet speed that can watch videos on HD. Also I hope download speed is like in 15 seconds, TONS OF MBS is downloaded, then a few seconds later 1GB is done. I also hope upload is like 10mins on a 10gb file. I just want a fast internet speed. Hopefully.
2:55 even if you wanna download a 10MB (biggest size) camera picture with a 56K modem, you need about 24 minutes. Not an hour, as you say. And that's because:
10MB=80,000,000bits
80,000,000/56,000=1426sec
1428/60=23,8min
+Yiannis Serpico Haha, I did they same thing when he said an hour :P
Great video. 1 question how can I apply that to when im gaming. I heard something about Ping speeds. Can you tell me more about that?
I got a question. im currently running wireless internet bertram wireless. and i hate its speed, im a gamer and is there anything faster internet. I live in a rural area and cable internet is not offered in my area. please help
thank you so much. It is an excellent video.
3:30 you say that a picture that is 3 MB equal to 3000 KB equal to 24000 Kb (kilobit) and the modem download at 56 Kb (kilobit) per second, then those 24000 could be downloaded (24000/56) in 428 seconds equal to 7 minutes aproximately, why did you say it would take one hour ? Maybe I didn't understand the concepts or maybe there was an error
Totally different but it's like playing a game that supports 60 fps (frames per second) but the tv has 30 fps so you will only experience 30 fps playing
thank you. that was really an awesome presentation.
sir i am going to start new broadband company bandwidth provider me sharing ratio please how can i count sharing ratio they are providing 10:1 sharing ratio please sir i dont konw about that please sir can you clear me
Is there a difference in modems and cables, say cat 5 vs cat 7 for cable internet speeds with no router involved?
Thank you for the amazing and useful video
Sorry but what if I am playing a online game what does it use upload or download speed and how Much is good
So if I'm streaming my gaming session to twitch and my roomate is complaining about bandwith usage for his downloads, is that a valid argument since it is an asynchronous connection? or does one bandwith affect the other?
which internet speed is for gaming ?
If you have a download speed rate of 512KBps that is a bandwidth of 4mbps, does it mean you are downloading a data of 512KB every second??
I have been observing my network, and my download speed rate shown in my downloader is not equivalent to the actual being downloaded. My downloader may show a download speed of 300KBps, but the data downloaded in that second will be about 200KB.
Thank you for your video, it was really in depth!
My internet provider is telling me that the 66 mbps I contracted with them is only coming in at about 19 mbps (wireless) because of outside environmental factors and they can't do anything about it. I don't believe them and I want to know if I am correct on that assumption.
Wireless service is prone to all kinds of external factors and variables. If repositioning your receiving equipment does not improve the speed, then your choices are to live with it or take your business elsewhere.
One thing you could is, connect through Ethernet and run a speed test again. Your service provider is able to run the speed directly from the modem as well. So connect through Ethernet to a laptop or computer, then run a speed test directly connected to the modem. If you notice the speeds are under then you're in the right to complain to your service provider
This was very heplfull. Thank you sir
Awesome video and explanations of IT terms.
Got a question:why so much speed difference in upstream vs downstream?
Thanks!!
We arent sure why, but suspect it has something to do with being cheaper for the internet company!
Grown Up Geek
Thank you for the reply!!
On my opinion, I agree with you if this has to do ONLY with the ISP company and not its customers. But, if it has to do with the customers too, ISP company could have a variety of lines and prices (cheap lines tuned up as nowadays and more expensive lines for those who are interested in a bigger upload bandwidth for e.g. HD Video, on-line gaming, video conferencing, Skype-ing, Teamviewer-ing, etc).
