Stands for Megabits per second and is a measure of data transfer speed, representing the number of millions of bits transmitted every second. It’s widely used to describe internet and network speeds. For instance, a 100 Mbps internet connection can theoretically transfer 100 million bits per second, equating to about 12.5 megabytes per second (MBps) when downloading files. Mbps is often used to gauge the speed of home and business internet connections, with higher values indicating faster data transfer rates.
