    Hello,

    I have received the below sentence about the calculation for network speed

    •To be able to download 115 MB within 200 seconds a network speed of 600 kByte/sec would be required which may be too much for a mobile network

    Can you please help me understand how is this calculated (I mean, How do we arrive to 600KBytes needed)?

    Thank you,

    Pedro

    Just multiply speed in KB/s by time in seconds to get the number of KB you can transfer in that time.

    To download 115MB in 200 seconds is the same that downloading 117,760KB in 200 seconds. If you divide the number of KB by the seconds, you'll get the KBs needed to be downloaded per second in average, which is 588.

    As people like rounded numbers, and you might want to consider that you won't always get a constant speed, the number is rounded to 600.

    Speeds are commonly measured in KB/s, but that is changing as the speeds increase. Some 4G LTE networks are able to support those speeds.
