WHAT DOES MEGABIT MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Megabit

The megabit is a multiple of the unit bit for digital information or computer storage. The prefix mega is defined in the International System of Units as a multiplier of 106, and therefore 1 megabit = 106bits = 1000000bits = 1000 kilobits. The megabit has the unit symbol Mb or Mbit. The megabit is closely related to the mebibit, a unit multiple derived from the binary prefix mebi of the same order of magnitude, which is equal to 220bits = 1048576bits, or approximately 5% larger than the megabit. Despite the definitions of these new prefixes for binary-based quantities of storage by international standards organizations, memory semiconductor chips are still marketed using the metric prefix names to designate binary multiples. Using the common byte size of 8 bits, and using the NIST definition of megabit and kilobyte, 1 megabit is equal to 125 kilobytes or approximately 122 kibibytes. 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.
