Data transfer rate is the most intuitive indicator of network bandwidth and download speed. When applying for broadband, the "gigabit" mentioned means 1000 Mbps (megabits per second), while your download progress shows MB/s (megabytes per second).
History & Background
From early dial-up (calculated in bps) to today's all-optical networks, transfer rates have experienced a massive leap. Interestingly, network engineers and hardware engineers used different naming conventions (bit vs. Byte).
Conversion Details
Note: network bandwidth uses bits, while file size uses bytes — 1 byte = 8 bits.
Common conversions: 1 Byte/s = 8 bps, 1 MB/s = 8 Mbps.
