For the size and share entered above. Speeds are in Mbps.

Mbps and MB/s are not the same
Internet plans are sold in megabits per second (Mbps). Game sizes and console download screens use bytes. There are 8 bits in a byte, so divide Mbps by 8 to get MB/s. A 100 Mbps plan moves at most 12.5 MB/s.
This calculator uses 1 GB = 1000 MB. The formula is seconds = size in GB × 8000 ÷ Mbps.
Why real downloads are slower
The speed on your plan is a ceiling. Other devices on the network, a busy server, router distance and the console's own disk writes all take a share. Launch week is also busy for the servers. Use the share box to model it: at 75%, a 100 Mbps plan behaves like 75 Mbps.
Wired is usually faster than Wi-Fi
A network cable gives a steadier speed than Wi-Fi, which drops with walls, distance and other networks nearby. If the console is within reach of the router, plug it in with an Ethernet cable for the download.
