Mbps

Mbps is the abbreviated form of megabits per second. It is an indicator of how many bits of megabits (1 million bits) of information can be transferred between two digital devices in one second.

Swiss broadband and mobile data service providers typically list connection speeds in Mbps.

Example: A megabit is made up of 1 million bits. Every 8 bits forms 1 byte. A connection with a constant speed of 1 Mbps can transfer 125 kilobytes of data in 1 second.

The term Mbps should not be confused with the term MBps (megabytes per second). A megabyte is composed of 1 million bytes – equal to 8 million bits.

The download calculator on moneyland.ch makes it easy to find out how long it would take to download a certain amount of data based on the speed of the Internet connection used.
