Huhu.. Since when they using byte for internet data.. Normally it for storage.. Mostly hard disk..
And 4 bits is a nibble...
Since when Internet speed needed to be measured...And 4 bits is a nibble...

QUOTE(kroul2 @ Jan 22 2017, 08:57 PM) Oh, someone knows how to regurgitate. Come, have a seat and let me educate you...While the megabit is widely used when referring to data transfer rates of computer networks or telecommunications systems. Network transfer rates and download speeds often use the megabit as the amount transferred per time unit, e.g., a 100 Mbit/s (megabit per second) Fast-Ethernet connection, or a 10 Mbit/s Internet access service, the sizes of data units (files) transferred over these networks are often measured in megabytes. To achieve a transfer rate of one megabyte per second one needs a network connection with a transfer rate of eight megabits per second. For every byte that is transferred, additional bits are used. But most broadband providers tend to prefer to quote Megabits for their speeds, not least because it’s more familiar and attractive from an advertising perspective. For example, some people might think that 1MBps is slower than 8Mbps, even though they’re effectively the same, and advertisers do so love bigger numbers. So the importance of that little ‘b’ and big ‘B’ is not to be overlooked. Now, while I’ve got you here, the same also applies between Gigabits and GigaBytes (i.e. 8 Gigabits = 1 GigaByte (GB)). But take note that transfer speeds/data sizes aren’t all based around an eight times difference, indeed it’s worth keeping in mind that around 1000 Megabits per second is equal to 1Gbps (Gigabit). But that’s another story and I don’t want to confuse matters. TLDR: So once again, Megabits and MegaBytes or Gigabits and Gigabytes... Potato, potahto, tomato, tomahto.. So give it a rest will ya.. And if for some reason, this flies above?? See my previous post.. |
