Internet connection speeds are most commonly measured in
A
Megabits per second
B
Packets per second
C
Gigabytes
D
Megahertz
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Megabits per second (Mbps) are units of measurement for network bandwidth and throughput. They are used to show how fast a network or internet connection is. Each Mbps represents the capacity to transfer 1 million bits each second, or roughly one small photo per second. It may also be expressed as Mbit/s or Mb/s.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -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-4: -What is the average internet speed in the US? According to data collected from our internet speed test, the national average internet speed is 42.86 Mbps. Of course, this average is always changing, and that number might not reflect your internet experience.

Detailed explanation-5: -Internet speeds are typically defined in terms of megabits per second (Mbps) for downloading and uploading data: Download speed. The speed at which data, including files, web sites, pictures, music, and movies, is being delivered to you from the Internet. Upload speed.
