Windows 10: Confusion with megabits and megabytes (Please help)

My family recently upgraded to virgin media internet and this has been an on going debate. I’m trying to prove my dad wrong about the fact that he thinks we are getting 200megabytes instead of megabits . I’ve shown him multiple sources about how ookla speedtest and virgin media website are displaying internet speeds in megabits but he’s sticking to one source that is wrong and saying that we are getting 200 megabytes download speed.

If you could please send sources and proof so i can show my dad truth and not get disowned because of this . Thank you ever so much.

Does the Microsoft Store use megabits per a second or megabytes per a second?

The Windows Store and XBox, is Megabits per Second, not Megabytes per second, that is why everyone is wondering why the download goes way past the stated size of the download . . .

 

Help me choose my new ISP!

T1 connections are only 24*64k = 1.536 Mbps. Also is T1 connections are not used as often as they once were meaning if he cannot get fiber/DSL/Cable then a T1 is probably out of the question as well. T1's are mainly used for businesses for their phone system such as a PRI. A T1 line can carry 24 digitized voice channels, or it can carry data at a rate of 1.544 megabits per second. If the T1 line is being used for telephone conversations, it plugs into the office's phone system. If it is carrying data it plugs into the network's router. A T1 connection is a step above ISDN/56k INET.

• DS0 - 64 kilobits per second

• ISDN - Two DS0 lines plus signaling (16 kilobytes per second), or 128 kilobits per second

• T1 - 1.544 megabits per second (24 DS0 lines)

• T3 - 43.232 megabits per second (28 T1s)

• OC3 - 155 megabits per second (84 T1s)

• OC12 - 622 megabits per second (4 OC3s)

• OC48 - 2.5 gigabits per seconds (4 OC12s)

• OC192 - 9.6 gigabits per second (4 OC48s)

Hope this helps *Smile

MegaBIT or MegaBYTE?! If it's 10 and 15 megabit, then I should say it's damn slow. Those equal to 1.25 and 1.87 megabyte/s.
