When reviewing an Internet service plan, you see a download rate advertised as 100 Mbps. In this context, what does the suffix "bps" actually stand for?
bytes per second
blocks per second
baud per second
bits per second
The suffix "bps" represents bits per second, the fundamental unit used to express how many individual bits of data can be transmitted each second. Network speeds are typically shown in multiples of this base unit, such as Kbps (thousands of bits per second) or Mbps (millions of bits per second). "Bytes per second" would be written with an uppercase "B" (Bps), while terms like "baud per second" and "blocks per second" describe different measurements and are not used to specify modern throughput ratings.
