One very last post in this thread (which really doesn't seem to be going anywhere and I don't think anyone but us really cares anyway) :lol:
Yes, both of our calculations are correct.
BUT.. This thread is about data transfer rates (speed) on the internet or on a network.
In that context, it always equals 10^6. (1 megabit = 10^6 = 1,000,000 bits). My calculations are based on that.
YOU are assuming (by your calculations) that 1 megabit = 2^20 = 1,048,576 bits (which is also correct) BUT that is used to express the capacity of memory modules NOT data transfer speed on the internet or a network which is what this thread is about. I have explained that previously in this thread.
Therefore, my answer is correct. :smokin:
Ok dude... yet another opinion can be found here which agrees with my original and subsequent posts up above in this thread...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megabit
First off, I made a typo a few posts up where I said 1 megabit = 1000 bits. That should read 1 megabit - 1000 kbits.
"A megabit per second (Mbps or Mbit/s) is a unit of data transmission equal to 1,000 kilobits per second or 1,000,000 bits per second."
As I stated previously, the error is when you used 1024 and not 1000 before dividing by 8 to get kB/s (kilobytes per second).

We are talking about megabits not megabytes. (my last comment might have been confusing)
