mega bit per second (Mbps)
Megabits per second (Mbit/s) or (Mbps) is a dimension for transmission speed, based on bits per second. It tells how many millions of bits are transmitted per second.
Megabits per second is `10^6` bit/s or `10^3` kbit/s, i.e. 1,000,000 bit/s. The next higher data rates are specified in gigabits per second (Gbit/s) and terabits per second (Tbit/s).
In Germany, the notation Mbit/s is used, whereas in Anglo-Saxon countries the Mbps is used.
