Megabit (Mbit)
A megabit is one million bits, one eighth of a megabyte. Internet plans are sold in megabits per second, which is why a 100 Mbit/s line downloads about 12.5 MB each second.
Symbol: Mbit
Quantity: amount of digital information
SI relation: 1 Mbit = 1000000 bit (exact)
Derivation: 1 Mbit = 10⁶ bits.
Exact: yes, by definition
Typical uses
- Network and broadband quantities
- Memory chip densities
- Video bit budgets
