A company is upgrading its internet connection to better handle the increased demand of daily data transfers and remote operations. If they are currently using a 100 Mbps connection and are considering an upgrade to a connection that is significantly faster, which of the following options represents an improved potential maximum data transfer rate they might consider?
The correct answer is 1 Gbps, which represents a data transfer rate of 1000 Mbps. Understanding this is essential, because it helps in evaluating the speed of network connections. Gbps stands for gigabits per second, which is a measure used to express high-speed data transfer rates. A gigabit is 1,000 times larger than a megabit, so 1 Gbps is 10 times faster than 100 Mbps. The other options are incorrect. 1000 Kbps is equivalent to 1 Mbps, which is a downgrade. 200 Mbps is an improvement, but not as significant as 1 Gbps. 50 Mbps is also a downgrade.
