Question 1

How do I convert Mbps to MB/s?

Accepted Answer

Divide by 8. 100 Mbps = 12.5 MB/s maximum download speed.

Question 2

Why is my download slower than my internet speed?

Accepted Answer

Mbps is bits, downloads show bytes. Also, overhead, congestion, and server limits apply.

Question 3

Why is my storage smaller than advertised?

Accepted Answer

Manufacturers use decimal (1 GB = 1 billion bytes). Operating systems often use binary (1 GB = 1.07 billion bytes). This ~7% difference explains 'missing' space.

Question 4

What's the difference between bits and bytes?

Accepted Answer

1 byte = 8 bits. Storage is measured in bytes (GB, TB). Network speeds are usually in bits (Mbps, Gbps). Divide Mbps by 8 to get MBps.
