1-3 Mps means Mega bits per second not mega bytes per second?? I have heard about this long time ago but what is the difference between bytes and bits?

Mmegabytes per second is MBps (MB/s).  8Mbps = 1MBps.

Huh? Do you mean 8 instead of 1?

He means 1.

 

1 megabyte per second (MBps) equals 8 megabits per second (Mbps).

    8 Mbps = 8,000 Kbps it is what Google also have said.

      Yes, 8 megabits per second is 8,000 kilobits per second. 8 megabits per second is also 1 megabyte per second.

        not exactly meaning and yeah it is below 8 megabytes but it is your meaning I just don't agree with it because I'm looking forward to maximum meaning.
