Frequently Asked Questions

How many bits are in a byte?

One byte equals exactly 8 bits.

How many bytes is a megabit?

One megabit = 1,000,000 bits = 125,000 bytes = 125 kilobytes.

Why do internet speeds use Mbps but storage uses MB?

Internet speed is typically measured in megabits per second (Mbps) while storage uses megabytes (MB). Since 1 byte = 8 bits, an 8 Mbps connection transfers about 1 MB per second.
