download speeds

[rare urchin]

so i have a series s with wired internet and it says im getting 300mbps. if that is the case, i should get a gigabyte downloaded in 3 seconds but i takes 20 seconds.
is there a reason why?

1 gigabyte at 300 megabits per second is approximately 26 seconds, assuming perfect transfer
