Detailed explanation-1: -While bandwidth is traditionally expressed in bits per second (bps), modern network links now have far greater capacity, which is why bandwidth is now more often expressed as Mbps or Gbps.
Detailed explanation-2: -As to why we measure internet speed in bits even though the internet delivers bytes of data, it is because the internet delivers those bytes of data as single bits at a time.
Detailed explanation-3: -Broadband speeds are measured in ‘megabits per second’, often shortened to Mb Mbits p/s or Mbps. Bits are tiny units of data, with a megabit representing a million of them. The higher the number of Mbps (megabits per second) you have, the speedier your online activity should be.
Detailed explanation-4: -According to the definition of the bandwidth, it is the width of the frequency spectrum. Hence bandwidth should be measured in Hz. But bps, Mbps, kbps have been used as the measurement of bandwidth almost everywhere.
