Would you believe 4 Gibabyte per second broadband? The article says *40* Gigs per second.
I only have a 37 Gig hard drive.
I feel so small...

The article says *40* Gigs per second. That's Gigabits per second... divide by 10 to get approximate Gigabytes per second (8 bit word, plus start and stop bits).

40 Gigabits is equal to 4 Gigabytes.

The article says *40* Gigs per second.Gigabits, not Gigabytes. 8 bits make 1 byte. so 40 Gigabits equals 5 Gigabytes, still a hellavu lot!

Well, I’m sure it’s 40 GigaBITS per second, unless the number’s been converted for public consumption. Data rates are normally always in bits. Still, 40 Gigs of them are a lot!
