Tiny point, you don't have a gigabyte connection, you have a gigabit connection.

Memory is normally measured in bytes (each byte is 8 bits).

bandwidth/link speed is measured in bits per second (bits, kilobits, megabits, gigabits, etc....

At work, all of the servers are currently running 10Gigbit connections, and our infrastructure is mostly 4x10G. But we are getting ready to upgrade our infrastructure connections to 100gigabit, and the servers are going to start upgrading to 25gigabit connections.

Our company has many connections to AWS that are 100gb, but they are planning upgrades to 4x100gb.

And some other nerd details.

Usually b=bits and B=bytes.

So your Internet (supposed to be capitalized) connection is 1gb, and your computer has 256 gB of RAM.
