It's not unusual to see the premium tier of a typical residential internet plan advertised as having "1 gigabit per second speed!" But when you read the fine print, the data transfer speed might actually be something like 940 Mbps — or megabits per second. Close to 1 gigabit, but they're rounding up. And when you test the speed with a tool like Ookla Speedtest, the rate might be even lower.
Now imagine having an internet speed of 402,000,000 Mbps with the same fiber optic cable you can get off the shelf.
