Mbps VS MBps ( See How Internet provider fooled you )

MBps = Megabytes per second.

Mbps = Megabits per second.

 

So what is it ?

 

when you have a 20 meg (Mbps) connection speed?

 

Here is the conversion

 

 

1 bit = 0.125 or 1/8 bytes. Thus a 20 "meg" connection in reality is only 2.38 MBps. To put that in perspective the average size of an MP3 of five minutes in length is 4.5 MB (Mega Bytes).

 

In theory if you have a true 20 "meg" connection you should be able to download a song in just under two seconds.
