A technical explainer is clarifying the difference between Megabits per second (Mbps) and Megabytes per second (MB/s), two units often confused when discussing internet speeds and file downloads. The piece breaks down how bits measure network transfer rates while bytes are used for storage, helping readers understand why their advertised broadband speed appears lower when downloading files.

Why now: People routinely confuse these units when comparing broadband plans and download speeds, so clear explainers circulate widely.
