Data rate
Network speeds in bits per second versus bytes per second.
1 Megabit per second = 0.125 Megabyte per second (exact)

How this system works
ISPs advertise megabits per second; download managers show mebibytes per second. Divide bits by eight to get bytes, then watch the kilo/kibi split. A “100 Mbps” line is 12.5 MB/s in SI bytes, about 11.9 MiB/s in binary.
Base unit: bit per second. Megabit per second is Metric; Megabyte per second is Metric.
