90% still confuse MB/s vs Mb/s

You could have enlightened me here, but you didn't.

1 MB = 1 Megabyte and 1 Mb = 1 Megabit. One Megabyte equals eight Megabits, so if you have 40 Mbps, your download speed is about 5 MB/s.

[Vijay]

Yeah, I remember seeing a poster that said 500 RS for 150 Mbps, then I realized 150 Mbps works out to about 18.75 MBps.

[Vandana]

100 Mb/s is still plenty for most people.

[Sneha]

That's why, for monitoring traffic, I use MB/s.





Also, if anyone wonders what that is: https://github.com/zhongyang219/TrafficMonitor/blob/master/README_en-us.md

Just a few bits and bytes here and there, tbh.

[Mohit]

[Namrata]

Divide by 8 - that's the actual speed you get in MB/s.

When I first heard about 5G speeds, I was super excited, until...

[Pranay]

And 90% of people don't know where the claim '90% of people don't know the difference...' originated.

[Lokesh]

90% of people don't know the difference between the 5G carrier signal and the 5 GHz Wi-Fi band.
