how is this better? the twitter guy is ordering a TB not a GB

[-] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 8 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

That gigabit per second, without any datacap.

Twitter guy is ordering 1000 gigabyte worth of data, or slightly over 2 hours of internet in Sweden at full speed.

why is everyone dropping the "per second" part

[-] kaosof@lemmy.world 8 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

Because gigabytes (GB) are units of storage capacity, and gigabits (Gb) are units of data transfer rate.

It's implied it's gigabits per second, as no one ever really measures it in like... Gigabits per hour, or year.

[-] stebo02@sopuli.xyz 2 points 3 weeks ago

A gigabit is defined as 1 billion bits of data which is equivalent to 8GB. Both are a unit of capacity.

Technically correct, but that's not how it's actually used. Gigabit is not used in any meaningful context outside of as a measure of data transfer rates.
