To convert bits per second to bytes per second, you would divide the bits per second by 8, since there are 8 bits in a byte. For example, if you have 1000 bits per second, the equivalent would be 125 bytes per second (1000 bits / 8 = 125 bytes).
The unit used to measure the speed of data transmission is typically bits per second (bps), kilobits per second (kbps), megabits per second (mbps), or gigabits per second (gbps). This unit denotes the number of bits of data that can be transmitted in one second.
No, 1.5 megabytes (MB) is faster than 7 megabits per second (mbps). 1 byte equals 8 bits, so 1.5 MB is equivalent to 12 mbps.

The speed of fiber optics can reach up to the speed of light in a vacuum, which is approximately 186,282 miles per second (299,792 kilometers per second). This high speed allows for fast and efficient data transmission over long distances.
To convert bits per second to bytes per second, you would divide the bits per second by 8, since there are 8 bits in a byte. For example, if you have 1000 bits per second, the equivalent would be 125 bytes per second (1000 bits / 8 = 125 bytes).
The relationship between bits per second and bytes per second is based on the relationship between bits and bytes, which is that there are 8 bits to a byte. Another thing to consider is that bits are represented by a lower case "b" and bytes are represented by an uppercase "B". An example would be: 8 bps = 1 Bps or 64 bps = 8 Bps
In computer science it stands for "bits per second," however some call it "bytes per second." It is a measurement of speed particular to data transfer especially within a communications system.In computer science it stands for "bits per second," however some call it "bytes per second."

Convert the megabytes to bits. 1 megabyte = 1024 x 1024 bytes; also, you have to multiply the result by 8 to convert to bits, since 1 byte = 8 bits. If you then divide by the bandwidth (786,000 bits/second), you get the time in seconds.
With lowercase 'b' (bps), "bits per second" With uppercase 'B' (Bps), "bytes per second"
these are types of internet speeds, music quality is measured in kbps (kilo bytes per second) and internet speed is measures in mbps (mega bits per second) and gbps (giga bits per second
MB... 1 MB is 1024 KB (1024 bytes) of disk space. If you are referring to data transfer rates instead, 1 MB is 1000 KB (1000 bytes). Network types rarely refer to bytes per second, but use bits per second instead. So if you are asking because you've read that something is transferred at 2MBps, it likely means 2,000,000 bits per second, not bytes per second.
That usually refers to the rate of data transfer - how many bits, or bytes, can be transferred every second. It might also refer to some other data processing. Reminder: 1 byte = 8 bits.
MBPS is Standing for Mega Bytes Per Second. This is a Internet Term. Stands for "Megabits Per Second." One megabit is equal to one million bits or 1,000 kilobits. While "megabit" sounds similar to "megabyte," a megabit is roughly one eighth the size of a megabyte (since there are eight bits in a byte). Mbps is used to measure data transfer speeds of high bandwidth connections, such as Ethernet and cable modems.
Here is how you calculate that. 10MB is 10 million bytes (more precisely, 10 x 1024 x 1024). Multiply that by 8 to convert to bits (since bandwidth is measured in bits per second). gbps means billions of bits per second. Now divide the total number of bits by the bandwidth (in bits/second). The result is the number of seconds it takes.
Baud is the number of symbols per second. So if you have a parallel interface where the 8 bits are sent together, I guess 300 bytes per second equates to about 300 baud. With a serial interface, where each of the 8 bits is sent one after the other, extra start/stop bits are usually inserted between the 8 data bits, I guess 300 bytes per second equates to about 3000 baud. Baud is the number of changes per second. Since computers use binary number to store information, the baud rate is directly equivalent to the number of bits sent per second. Specifically, in an ASCII character set 8 bits are used to represent a character, 300 bits per second would equate to 37.5 characters per second which in turn is 2250 characters per minute. (just under 2 kilobytes per minute assuming no error correction overheads).
BPS = Bytes Per Second.
