Agreed... Spelling out the word "megabytes" can never mean "megabits" regardless of what abbreviation they followed it up with.

Wow. My mind totally skimmed over that. You are totally right.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Correction-27164691 Mon, 21 May 2012 13:45:13 EDT Re: Correction http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Correction-27164461 said by recoil0:

Not necessarily, they explicitly write out megabytes followed up with Mbps(Megabits)

"Current average download speeds exceed 14 Megabytes per second (Mbps) and are expected to approach 20 Mbps by the end 2012, says the firm"

14megabytes per second is 112mbps.

The article is correct.

Mbps = Megabits (lower b) per second.

MBps = Megabytes (upper B) per second.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Correction-27164072 Mon, 21 May 2012 10:29:20 EDT Re: Correction http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Correction-27164041 said by tiger72:

Yeah, I don't get it why companies that do so much internet-related stuff mix up megabits and megabytes so often. I understand when the average consumer or non-technical company does it, but if you are doing an in-depth study about internet speeds, learn to use the right vocabulary.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Correction-27164041 Mon, 21 May 2012 10:22:00 EDT Correction http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Correction-27163985
