Speedy

"TM plans to roll out the service by 2012, offering surfing speeds of 2Mbps to 1Gbps." The star online, Friday, 2nd January.

Just say if you download an episode of Heroes, probably ranged around 350Megabytes(MB).

So with full 2Mbps speed, in computing calculation you will get 256Kilobytes(KB) per second (2Mbps x 1024 / 8 = 256KB) or 0.256Megabytes per second.

Means you need around ([350MB/0.256MB] / 60 seconds) 22 ~ 25 minutes, to finish downloading an episode of Heroes. That if with full speed of 2Mbps.

1Gbps = 1024 Mbps

1Gbps is 512 times (1024/2 = 512) faster than 2Mbps!!!

So to download an episode of Heroes with full 1Gbps speed you only need ([25min/512] x 60) around 3 minutes.

WOW!!! 3 minutes to download an episode of Heroes.

Imagine download a mp3 song just less than a second...

Sweet... =)
