You can chose to be an outcast and annoy people with this

 

or you can accept that this is how everyone speaks and stop being an ass about it.

 

It doesnt matter if you're right on paper, what i said is what literally EVERYONE uses.

 

Instead of confusing tech illiterate people, just accept that this is how the world works.

What a load of rubbish you talk. EVERYONE does NOT use the terminology you suggest. 

And I think it is only YOU getting annoyed, because your explanation IS wrong.

For all the tech illiterate people (sorry he called you all that) , read my post no. 27, it explains it all very simply, and correctly.

You are getting your MB and Mbs mixed up.

mb/s or mbps (mega BITS) is ususally used to denote an internet speed or bandwidth.

MB (Mega BYTES) is usually used to denote the capacity of a drive or file.

And 1 MB or mB = about 8 Mb or 8mb

Ignore this one, I got it wrong about 'm' which means milli = 1000th. Read my reply no. 28

Its so simple all internet providers show of speeds in megabits, you need to divide this by 8 to get to speed in megabytes. 

 

There are 8 bits in a byte. 

 

just look at the advertised speeds below.

Thanks Robb. We all know that no-one except Polar Bear measures internet speed or bandwidth in MB/s = Mega Bytes per second, SSD capacity and file sizes are in MB = Mega BYTES. Happy What-not.

Have you not noticed that you're the only person confused here? 

 

People write mbps/mbits/Mbps/MBPS to show the advertised speed, so divided by 8 to get mb/sec or meg/sec

 

its that simple, you're the only one getting confused.
