Mbps, MBps and GB: Understanding Internet Speed
Clear up the difference between bits and bytes so connection speeds and file sizes make more sense.
Read the guide โOur guides explain the ideas behind the tools in plain language, with examples you can actually follow. Use them when you want to understand the answer rather than simply get one.
How we approach these guides: they are written to help with the actual task in front of you. We use examples, point out common mistakes and explain where a simple calculator has limits. If you spot an error or something that needs clarification, please let us know through the Contact page.
