When it comes to the internet, speed is a deciding factor.

Those ancient days of booting up AOL and hearing the dial tone - or not being able to use the internet when your parents are on the phone - are thankfully behind us, but still, choppy Wi-Fi speeds are the bane of our existence.

We've all seen the adverts promoting the fastest internet around, with celebrities like Kevin Bacon trying to get you to change provider under the promise that they have the best internet speeds.

We've also all been there when the internet drops out in the middle of a Zoom call and your face freezes while looking like some sort of Halloween nightmare.

If there's one place in the world you'd imagine the internet is pretty zippy, it would be Google offices.

With the tech giant being the overlord of all thing's search on the internet, you'd hope Google has internet speeds that would give Sonic the Hedgehog a run for his money.

YouTuber Arun Maini, aka Mrwhosetheboss, decided to test this himself. Heading to the YouTube headquarters in California (YouTube is owned by Google), Mrwhosetheboss was shocked to learn just how fast Google's internet speeds are.

Although Mrwhosetheboss struggled to find the Wi-Fi router and had to take a slide downstairs (as you do), he eventually tracked it down and positioned his laptop directly underneath it.

When running a speed test, Mrwhosetheboss discovered that Google's Wi-Fi runs at 180 Mbps. Boasting an upload speed of 250 Mbps, Mrwhosetheboss deduced that you could upload an entire one of his videos in just one minute.

Also, kudos if you spotted the cameo from YouTube favorite Tom Scott in the background of the video.

Others in the comment were gobsmacked at just how fast Google's internet is, especially with so many devices connected at once. As ever, there were critics who expected it to be faster.

One unimpressed tech-lover wrote: "I'm a working class brit, my home Wi-Fi being faster than Google's is super embarrassing. Although it's probably just because of how many people are on Google's WiFi."

Another added: "Dude, that means that my Wi-Fi is much faster than Google's 💀."

Some other poor victim of the internet concluded: "My Wi-Fi cut out while watching this and I just stared at my screen thinking it was part of the video."

So, if you fancy the fastest internet around, it could be worth applying for a job at the YouTube headquarters. It beats trying to guess your neighbor's Wi-Fi password.
