What is Mbps ?

Megabits per sec

Megabits per second (Mbps) are a unit of measurement for bandwidth and throughputon a network. Each megabit is equal to 1 million bits.

Mbps belongs to a family of metrics used to measure the capacity and speed of data transfer. The capacity smaller than Mbps is kilobits per second (Kbps), with the prefixkilo representing 1,000 bits per second, and higher than Mbps are gigabits per second (Gbps), with the prefix giga indicating 1 billion bits per second. Using these metrics, 1,000 Mbps is equal to 1 Gbps.
