And therein lies the rub. Not everybody as access to a "good modern
internet connection". Here in Third-World-USA that download would take
me almost an hour and I am lucky, I have access to SLOW DSL. The
majority in my county are limited to dial-up or poor 3G or flaky 4G(
very pricey METERED connections).

Or if you are rural and have to use a satellite link, you can not
download it at all....

Oh, yeah I fell for the HughesNet scam. I even eat the penalty to dump
it when this meager DSL arrived.

Hey TelCOs, where is my Fiber-Information-Superhighway promised in the
90s in exchanged for deregulation? We all know...

I live outside of Oklahoma City and the best that's available where I
live is a WISP called Aerosurf (Wireless Internet Service Provider).
It's not the fastest ISP I've been with, but its better than nothing for
the price you pay. It's fast enough to allow 1 HD video stream from Vudu
or Netflix, but that's about it, and for $50 a month for unlimited
access, it's a bargain compared to other services around here.

I'm not sure I agree that it's a majority who only have slow DSL or
dial-up available to them. It's probably a majority of the country, but
a majority of the people? That doesn't sound right, BICBW.

Personally, we have 300/50 Mbps service where I live, and Google was
talking about bringing symmetrical 1Gbps service here, which prompted
at&t to start saying they would do the same. I haven't seen any digging
yet, though.

I said *county*. I'm only a little over an hour from Richmond VA and
3Mbps is the *best* I can get. And I am lucky!

Consider yourself lucky, we have no other option and Verizon is not in a
very accommodating mood.

Thanks for the correction. I guess I saw what I expected to see,
unfortunately.

Currently, the cable here (Suddenlink) has a maximum of 150Mb/7.5Mb
internet. They say they're planning 1Gb service, but it's not here yet
(and it's going to require a new modem).

The Google thing will remain "talk", as Google has shut down
its ambitious plan for "world GbE domination".

From Wikipedia:

"In October 2016, all expansion plans were put on hold and some jobs
were cut.[9] Google Fiber will continue to provide service in the
cities where it is already installed."

And other competitors, for some reason, are not interested in wireline
any more. They love the "gold" and "small monthly caps" of 3G/4G wireless
instead.

I don't think the situation is the same everywhere in the world.

So if you got a good connection today, enjoy the hell out of it.

That's a straightforward math question, Andy. You can calculate the best
possible scenario, but in reality many sites are unwilling to serve up a
file for download at 300Mbps, so to get there you have to open multiple
concurrent connections.

So best case, how long should a gig take at 300 Megs a second? Show your
work, and watch for bits versus bytes.
