NET NEUTRALITY NOW EXISTS

[Nal]

it's 8 mb/s
and it doesn't even matter, as long as it doesn't run like a goddamn calculator

i mean people laugh at american speeds that's what i was trying to prove...

No it's not you idiots, 65 megabits is 65 megabits
Learn the difference between a lower case b (bit) and capital B (byte) because right now you're trying to convert but leaving the unit the same

I swear this discussion happens every single thread about internet speed

>tfw people still don't understand the difference between bit and byte

nope, the definition of broadband states that it must be at least 25 megabits per second download, which is approximately 3 megabytes per second, and 4 megabits per second upload, which is half a megabyte per second. Even I don't have broadband technically, and I have 3MB/s download easily, but I don't have high enough upload speed.

you're right. i got my conversions mixed up and i despise the fact that mbps is a thing which confuses the hell out of me.

this is seriously the only isp available in my area and I'm forced to use wireless which makes it even slower

on the bright side, they don't really care what you download so this won't effect me

The difference is moreso that people don't know the difference in abbreviation between b and B and just make up some arbitrary rule, usually I see "p means bit and / means byte" which is wrong and makes no sense, both mean "per"

[Pie Crust]

Companies here use Mbps or Mb/s and MBPS or MB/s

[Headcrab Zombie]

That's the standard (minus capitalized ps)
M is the abbreviation for the SI prefix mega, which means million
b for bit, B for byte
ps and /s both mean "per second"

Now, if I could get people in my house to not connect EVERYTHING to the internet I'd actually get a decent signal.

what

i meant to say 65 megabits is 8 megabytes

[Kochieboy]

what

8.125 MB

Remember, 8 bits in a byte

lmao comcast and verizon are so loving buttmad hahaha

Yeah what I'm saying is you used the abbreviation for megabits

[Zanaran2]

Yeah what I'm saying is you used the abbreviation for megabits

they're nearly the same thing tho

[Doughboy]

but zanaran put mb/s
which isnt MB/s or Mb/s

[Headcrab Zombie]

but zanaran put mb/s
which isn't... Mb/s

But it is
The capitalization is the M doesn't change anything (apart from 'proper'ness if you want to be technical, it should always be capital)
The b capitalization is the same. Therefore it is the same unit

b = bit
B = byte
There's nothing more to it
