Gigabits result in bigger numbers, and bigger numbers make it easier to sell shit to morons.
Samuel Anderson
Tech science is full of jargon, buzzwords, bad english and incoherent algebraeic rules.
Its also one of the few sciences spearheaded by the capitalism at all costs americans.
Put 2 and 2 together
Matthew Campbell
Don't forget Gibibyte.
Jonathan Walker
I have 1 gigabit fiber internet. Makes my e-peen big
Owen Edwards
The bit is the basic unit of information, which is why most ISPs use it. The byte is more common in daily use so some ISPs offer their speeds in bytes.
Lincoln Gomez
This is my pet peeve. I hate that we have both gigabytes and gibibytes. I've seen Linux distros use both without the proper nomenclature.
Lincoln Bell

Jayden Barnes
Because we have a bit and a byte you dumb fuck.
