Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Mbps and MB/s?
Mbps = megabits per second; MB/s = megabytes per second. 1 MB/s = 8 Mbps. ISPs advertise in Mbps; file copy speeds show MB/s.
How fast is a 100 Mbps internet connection?
100 Mbps = 12.5 MB/s. A 1 GB file would download in about 80 seconds.
