For those unfamiliar with the term, it stands for âmegabits per second,â and, as the name implies, the metric is the industry standard for determining network performance. Itâs vital to note that megabits are very different from megabytes. A megabit is equal to 0.125 megabytes â which means that when an Internet service provider advertises speeds of 15 Mbps, your download speeds will be 1.875 megabytes per second. The term âbitâ comes from a shortened version of âbinary digit,â which is the format of how computer data is stored.
Bacon is prepared from several different cuts of meat. It is usually made from side and back cuts of pork, except in the United States and Canada, where it is most commonly prepared from pork belly (typically referred to as streaky, fatty, or American style outside of the US and Canada).
Unlike English and American bacon, which are taken from the sides and belly of the pig, may be smoked, and are usually cut into slices, pancetta comes only from the belly, is salt-cured but not smoked, and is generally sold rolled up into sausage shapes.
