Meg is short for megabyte, which is why a lot people get confused.

There is a difference between, MBps and Mbps.

MBps = MegaBytes per Second

Mbps = Megabits per Second

Notice the difference between the upper and lower case 'b'? It matters.

For instance all isp's use the Mbps = Megabits which makes it look like a good offer.

If you're referring you have a '3 Meg' connection, than it's 3 Megabit (Mbit/ps or Mbps).

3 Mbps = 0.375 MBps (Anotherwards it's not 1 MegaBytes)

If you want 1 MBps (Megabytes) = 1 MBps = 8 Mbps

If you see an offer for 8 Mbps you'll be getting approx. 1 Megabyte down.
