MB/s or MBps (Megabytes per second) is not equal to Mb/s or Mbps (Megabits per second). 1 Megabyte (1 MB) is equal to 8 Megabits (8 Mb). The speed in the image on the right with 109Mbps is actually 13.625 MB/s (109÷8=13.625) in comparison to the speed on the left of 2.1 MB/s. https://www.highspeedinternet.com/resources/megabits-vs-megabytes-and-why-it-matters

Original Tweet
Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1697750517248643358
Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
