I did not use the wrong units, I converted them. The speeds available in my area currently max out at 1.2Gbps which is 150MBps.

When talking about network bandwidth, it is custom to measure in bit-per-second therefore the "bps" notation. If you convert to bytes, it is highly recommended to use "b/s" notation instead, i.e 150MB/s, to avoid confusion.
Thanks, I'll make sure to use B/s in the future.
But IIRC the de facto unit for network transmission speeds are bits - not bytes - pr second, and when it’s more the rule than the exception than people write ‘B’ in stead of ‘b’ then the confusion gets even higher..
I would expect this crowd here to not make these mistakes as ofte. :-)
B is defacto for storage…
Then we calculate the Bytes to see how fast we can download a file.
The widely-accepted convention is to use bits when discussing line speeds (as the article does).
