I knew about byte and bit, in which 8 bits make 1 byte. However, I have been quite careless with Mb, which means Megabit, instead of Megabyte (MB). Of course, one can conclude 8 Mb = 1 MB.
The internet speed I currently have is 16 Mb/s, which is 2 megabytes/second. I am not sure why internet providers use a different unit system (Mb/s) from MB unit system, which computers use.
