Mbps stands for megabits per second, and it is a unit of measurement used to quantify the transfer speed of digital data. It is commonly used to measure internet connection speeds, both for uploading and downloading data.

When you see a speed listed as Mbps, it refers to the rate at which one million bits of data can be transmitted in one second.

It is important to note that Mbps is different from megabytes per second (MB/s). To convert Mbps to MB/s, you divide the value by 8 since 8 bits make up 1 byte.

For example, a speed of 40 Mbps is equivalent to 5 MB/s.
