      That gigabit per second, without any datacap.

      Twitter guy is ordering 1000 gigabyte worth of data, or slightly over 2 hours of internet in Sweden at full speed.

          Because gigabytes (GB) are units of storage capacity, and gigabits (Gb) are units of data transfer rate.

          It’s implied it’s gigabits per second, as no one ever really measures it in like… Gigabits per hour, or year.

              Technically correct, but that’s not how it’s actually used. Gigabit is not used in any meaningful context outside of as a measure of data transfer rates.
