-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 You're talking two different things here. when you're looking at upload and download, usually that's measured in mbits. So 8 mbits gives you 128 kbps up/down. Now if you're using any kind of js, some of those are 32 (jquery, bootstrap etc). css adds another say 16 which brings us to a grand total of 48. If your webpage is 4 kb, that puts us at 52. Add another couple for header information etc and we're now at 54. Two visitors at once and you have what we call a saturated connection. Bandwidth feels like a lot, but when you actually start sending data out it ends up that what you thought of as a lot isn't anymore.
