I think you're mixing up your units... 1000 GB/s would be enough for a whole data center.
Tru dat, I meant, 1 GB/s or 1000 MB/s.
Thanks for pointing that out ^^
Still not quite. It’s 1 Gbit/s („gigabit“) not 1 GB/s („gigabyte“) which is a factor of eight apart. Marketing departments often obscure this by writing 1 Gb/s which is technically a valid way of writing one gigabit per second but very misleading. I‘ve never seen an ISP advertising in byte-based units and why would they? To the untrained eye they would look like they’re eight times slower than the competition.
Ah my bad, tbh I do know this but I kinda forgot that bc I'm a bit stressed out lately hence my late and hasty replies
Anyways tysm for getting it right ^^
