the symbol for byte is B while that of bit is b. MBps isnt Mbps a bit(binary digit) is either 1 or 0 but a byte is a set of 8 bits e.g 1 byte=01101010 this implies that 1 byte = 8 bits [size=14pt]so when you browse at 1Mbps(megabit/s),you are actually browsing at 0.125MBps(megabyte/s)[/size] [url=en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mbps]reference[/url] |

Afrobasic:how? Browsing and downloading @ 1-2Mbps is more than enough |
Re: Difference Between Bytes And Bits by Afrobasic(m): 8:27pm On Sep 23, 2013 |
femi4: how? Browsing and downloading @ 1-2Mbps is more than enough depends on what you're downloading eg: downloading 1gb at 1Mbps would take you ~3hrs but downloading 1gb at 1MBps would only take ~20mins 1 Like |

A bit is a single numeric value, either '1' or '0', that encodes a single unit of digital information. A byte is a sequence of bits; usually eight bits equal one byte. |
