A megabit per second ('''Mbps''' or '''Mbit/s''') is a Unit of Data Transfer Rate equal to 1,000,000 Bits Per Second or 1,000 Kilobits Per Second . The Bandwidth of consumer Broadband Internet services are often rated in Mbit/s. Data streams representing Compressed Video are often measured in Mbit/s:
RELATED UNITS One megabit per second should not be confused with one Mebibit Per Second : : 106 bit/s = 1,000,000 bit/s = 1 Mbit/s (one Megabit , or one Million bits, per second) : 220 bit/s = 1,048,576 bit/s = 1 Mibit/s (one Mebibit per second) However, the mebibit per second is almost never used, and there is no ambiguity in telecommunications speed as a result (see Binary Prefix for the corresponding ambiguous definition when measuring computer storage). This is because the mebibit has no significance in raw Bit Rate terms — where storage size is constrained by the Binary number system, no such limitation exists when sending electrical pulses or flashes of light.
