I have a quick question, is network bandwidth in Mb= Megabits or MB=Megabytes?

Hello,
Usually bandwidth specified in bits per second. So in this case MB- megabits per second.

Hi,
Usually service providers will caliculate the link bandwidth in bigs per second.
So it is like 10 Mbps and 20 Mbps.
Please rate the helpful posts.

As the other posters have already noted, network bandwidths are generally bits per second, bps. However, this is also the maximum "raw" transfer rate. When you account for all the required overhead for "packaging" actual data, the effective rate will be less, sometimes much less.
