An office is upgrading their internet service, and the ISP is offering a plan with an advertised speed of '100 megabits per second'. Which of the following terms correctly represents this speed?
Gbps
Kbps
Mbps
MBps
The correct answer is 'Mbps', which stands for 'megabits per second'. It is used to measure network transmission speeds, and it is correct because '100 megabits per second' translates directly to '100 Mbps'. The 'M' stands for 'mega', indicating million, and 'bps' stands for 'bits per second'. 'MBps' would be incorrect because it means 'megabytes per second', where a byte is 8 bits and not commonly used in representing network speeds. 'Gbps' represents 'gigabits per second', which is one thousand times faster than 'Mbps'. 'Kbps' represents 'kilobits per second', which is one thousand times slower than 'Mbps'.
