The term Mbps is a unit of measurement that expresses broadband speed, or how fast data is transferred across a network. More specifically, it stands for megabits per second and should not be confused with megabytes per second, or MBps, a similar but completely separate measurement unit. Major Internet service providers use the Mbps measurement to advertise what kind of Internet services they offer. According to comments made by service providers Verizon and Time Warner in 2013, 50Mbps is the speed that most Internet customers are demanding.
Internet speed, the number they give you (5 Mbps, for example), has nothing to do with how fast your internet works. Itâs not like a car or motorcycle where you can measure how fast it goes in miles per hour (mph). Instead, internet speed is your (allocated) bandwidth. Bandwidth is the amount of data that can be sent to you, usually measured in seconds. For example, 5 Mbps would mean that you can receive up to 5 megabits of data per second.
