When I were in flat cap ...
But I can remember installing ISDN and thinking 64 *K* each way was fast!
What do people NEED all this bandwidth for, for pete's sake... (says me who on
several occasions has downloaded DVD's worth of stuff ...)
Cheers,

The OP has it right: Gb/s is gigabit/second. GB/s is gigabyte/second.
SI isn't Windows: case matters. You don't want to mess up masses measured in mg
with those in Mg, for example. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_rate_units
And Google's Kansas City fibre is symmetric, 1Gb/s each way. Want that! Heck,
I'd be happy with 10Mb/s each way, rather than 50 down and 1 up.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

That's what they said. Lowercase b is for bits. Uppercase B is for bytes. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

{
GigaBIT per second not GigaByte per second. This is 128 mb
second.
}
Ummm... In common practice B=bytes and b=bits.
The article clearly states "gigabit", which is 125 megabytes/second,
ignoring overhead.

Only 500 times faster than what I get.
