FUNDAMENTALS OF COMPUTER

Detailed explanation-1: -All internet connection speeds are measured and reported in bits, more specifically bits per second (bps). Elevate’s speeds are 100 megabits per second (100 Mbps) and 1, 000 megabits per second (1, 000 Mbps). 1, 000 Mbps is equal to 1 gigabit per second or 1 Gig.

Detailed explanation-2: -A bit is the smallest unit of computer information. It’s essentially a single binary data point; either yes or no, on or off, up or down. A byte on the other hand is a unit of memory that usually contains 8 bits. This is because historically, 8 bits are needed to encode a single character of text.

Detailed explanation-3: -Internet speed is measured in bits per second. 1 Kbps (kilobits per second) = 1, 000 bits per second. 1 Mbps (megabits per second) = 1 million bits per second. 1 Gbps (gigabits per second) = 1 billion bits per second.

Detailed explanation-4: -Bits and bytes are different units of measurement, though you’re likely to have come across both while using the internet. Bits are usually used to measure connection speed, normally in the form of megabits. Bytes are usually used for measuring the size of data, often as megabytes or gigabytes.
