i want to upgrade my internet to either of the 3 but idk how internet speed n stuff all i know is i want to be able to download majority AAA games in under 2hrs  so which is best ?

 

I got the middle one in terms of speed on my own internet.

I can download STALKER 2 ( 133GB ) in about 40-45 minutes.

It also depends on your SSD speed as its installing games while downloading.

If your hard drive is very slow, that will be the limiting factor.

Consider an AAA game is around 100GB, so with 1Gb/s it'll take around 800 sec =15 minutes, rather 20 because you don't always have full speed, then double at 500Mb/s, 45 min, and around 1h15min at 300Mb/s

You can easily calculate that yourself, or use online tools to figure it out. You can convert from Mbps to MB/s by dividing the values by 8, so:

 

  • 300 Mbps = 37,5 MB/s
  • 500 Mbps = 62,5 MB/s
  • 1000 Mbps (1 Gbps) = 125 MB/s

AAA has no defined size, but some can easily be 150 GB+. 150 GB = 150,000 MB. You can now calculate the time by doing e.g. 150,000 MB / 125 MB/s = 1,200s (/3600) = ~20 minutes. It should be easy to see that 500 Mbps being half the speed would take twice as long so 40 minutes (and 300 Mbps ~ 1h 6m). So effectively all of them should allow for less than 2 hours.

 

Of course that is the maximum speed you can receive at. That does not mean the server you're downloading from will send at that speed. Downloads could always take longer than the minimum possible.
