Bits vs Bytes: Understanding Network Speed vs Download Speed
The difference between bits and bytes is crucial when working with gibibytes per second and gigabits per second:
| Unit Type | Symbol | Used For |
|---|---|---|
| Bits per second | Mbps, Gbps | ISP speeds, network bandwidth, WiFi specs |
| Bytes per second | MB/s, GB/s | Download managers, file transfers, SSD speeds |
Quick Conversion Rule
Divide bits by 8 to get bytes. Your "100 Mbps" internet connection delivers a maximum of 12.5 MB/s actual download speed.
Real-world speeds are typically 70-85% of theoretical maximum due to protocol overhead, network congestion, and other factors.
