Faster than as a percentage 2017-03-18
From Maximilian:
Hi, i have a strange issue with the phrase "faster than" in percentage, ie. if i have a 10MB/s connection, and somebody has a 7MB/s connection, is it 30% faster or 50% faster.- which ( affirmation, phrase, sentence ) is the right one:

a:) My 10MB/S connection is 50% faster than the 7MB/s ?
or
b:) My 10MB/S connection is 30% faster than the 7MB/s ?

Thanks in Advance, and please if you can teach me why !
