![]() These units are now used with IEC binary prefixes: KiB (pronounced “kibibyte”), MiB (mebibyte) and GiB (gibibyte). The difference between a gigabyte (GB) and a gigabit (Gb) is the same: a gigabyte is 8 times larger than a gigabit.*Īn additional complication comes from the fact that file size is typically measured in binary system, which used to refer to kilobyte as 210 = 1024 bytes, megabyte as 10242 bytes, and gigabyte as 10243 bytes. This is not the case, because one byte contains eight bits, thus making a megabyte 8 times the size of a megabit* so to download 1 MB in 1 second you need a connection speed of 8 Mbps. People often incorrectly assume that a speed of 1 Mbps will allow them to download 1 MB in 1 second. Megabit (Mb) or megabit per second (Mbps, Mb/s), with a small or lowercase ‘b’ - a unit used for download speeds advertised by ISPs and reported by on-line tools, equal to 10002 bits (b). Megabyte (MB) or megabyte per second (MBps, MB/s), with a capital or uppercase ‘B’ - a unit used for file sizes and often in the end user software, equal to 10002 bytes (B), and ![]() One thing that often causes confusion is the difference between: Cant wait for the people do not realize the conversion from Mb to MB etc.lol
