Mbps means megabits per second. MB is just megabytes. You can of course turn it into a rate, but then it would be MB/s. There are 8 bits in a byte, so 100 Mbps would be 12.5 MB/s (divide by 8) permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] Callie@pawb.social 4 points 3 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent
