FUNDAMENTALS OF COMPUTER

Detailed explanation-1: -Speed of Internet is measured in Megabits per second. A megabit is 1 million bits of information. This is a standard measure of internet speed and 1 Mbps is 1, 000 times faster than 1 Kbps. Not to be confused with megabytes (MB) which is a measure of size rather than bandwidth.

Detailed explanation-2: -How are broadband speeds measured? 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: -Basic Service = 3 to 8 Mbps. Medium Service = 12 to 25 Mbps. Advanced Service = More than 25 Mbps. Mbps (Megabits per second) is the standard measure of broadband speed.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -One megabyte per second is equal to 8 megabits per second. To get Mbps from MBps, multiply by eight. To see MBps, take the Mbps, and divide by eight or multiply by 0.125.
