"Megs" or Megabytes are a measurement of storage. "MBPS" or Megabits per second are a measurement of bandwidth. Storage measurements only measure how much space a file may take up, or how much space is left on disk. Bandwidth measures how quickly data can transfer to/from one place to another, whether that be from a hard drive to RAM, or from one computer to another.
Megabits per second does NOT equal Megabytes per second. Bits and bytes are different sized units of measurement.
8 bits = 1 byte
1024 bytes = 1 kilobyte
1024 kilobytes = 1 megabyte
1024 megabytes = 1 gigabyte
1024 gigabytes = 1 terabyte
Since bandwidth is measured in bits, the measurements are more like that
1024 bits = 1 kilobit
1024 kilobits = 1 megabit
1024 megabits = 1 gigabit
Therefore to compare 30 megabits to 30 megabytes, we can do a simple equation to find out the megabytes you can expect to transfer per second.
30 megabits = 31457280 bits
31457280 / 8 = 3932160 bytes
( 3932160 bytes / 1024 ) / 1024 = 3.75 megabytes per second.
Which can be simplified by simply dividing our megabits by 8.

Is 72.38 a lot of megs?
Asuming you mean Megabytes, or Mbps, then no. There is ruffly 1000 mbps in 1 Gb. So a 100 Gb drive can hold 100000 Mbps. The average computer in 2011 has a 250 to 500 GB hard drive.
Is 3000 k faster then 1.0 mbps?
Yes. 1 megabyte is approximately 1000 kilobytes, so 3000 k is the same as 3.0 mbps.
Is 30 mbps good?
It is above average. Most people have up to 20 mbps, and others have higher demand and have upwards of 40 mbps.
Is 100.0 mbps and 54.0 mbps is same speed?
No, 54.0mbps is 46mps slower than 100.0mbps
What is half duplex 10 100 switch?
Full duplex means it can receive and send at the same time.10 100 means it supports both of these speeds (10 Mbps and 100 Mbps).Full duplex means it can receive and send at the same time.10 100 means it supports both of these speeds (10 Mbps and 100 Mbps).Full duplex means it can receive and send at the same time.10 100 means it supports both of these speeds (10 Mbps and 100 Mbps).Full duplex means it can receive and send at the same time.10 100 means it supports both of these speeds (10 Mbps and 100 Mbps).
What is faster broadband or T3 lines?
Broadband does not have a set speed and 3 meg is a measurement of Internet speed. Broadband has a huge range in speed depending on your location and Internet Service Provider or ISP. If you are in a cabled network area it can be say 100meg or 10meg. If you get the broadband service down your phone line it can be 24meg 20 meg 8meg. The actual speed will vary from the advertised speed depending on whether you like far away from the exchange or not. It can even be as low as 0.1 meg or any other speed all the way up to 24meg. To see the speed in your area try putting your land line number into a broadband line check website, one of these can usually be found by searching "broadband line check" on Google.
How tall is Megs Jenkins?
Megs Jenkins is 5' 5".
How many bps in 3.1 mbps?
The little ' m ' stands for 'mega' which is the same as 'million'.So 3.1 mbps = 3,100,000 bps.
The 802.11g standard supports transfer rates of up to 30 Mbps?
False
How long does downloading for the heroic map pack take?
Depends on how fast your internet is, mine took 15 minutes on 100 mbps, so about 30 minutes on 50 mbps.
What is the birth name of Megs Jenkins?
Megs Jenkins's birth name is Jenkins, Muguette Mary.
Which download speed is faster 10 Mbps or 3 Mbps?
It's obviously 10 Mbps
