Cultural Tip

In many Spanish‑speaking countries, internet providers advertise speeds in megabits per second (Mbps). When talking about speed, speakers often use the verb 'ser' (es) because they view the speed as an inherent characteristic of the plan. Note that in Latin America the 's' in 'suficiente' is pronounced /s/, while in Spain it’s /θ/.
