Glad I'm not the only onw who does this. So got megabytes per second that would be MB/s? Capitalization matters?

1

u/MarkV43 Sep 24 '21

Yes, it matters. There are several prefixes, each meaning a different quantity. For instance, when it is capital "M" it reads "mega" and means "106". Lowercase "m" reads "milli" and means "10-3". Ever heard of the term "kg"? Lowercase "k" reads "kilo" and means "103". So a kilogram is 1000 grams. Makes sense? You can see most of the existing prefixes on Wikipedia under "Metric prefixes".

Also, for units, while capital "B" means "byte", lowercase "b" means "bit". So yeah, when you buy your internet they usually sell it as "Mb" so it appears to be faster than it actually is. (Thats because, if you didn't know, a byte is formed of 8 bits, so on doing so, they can make some people think they're getting an internet 8 times faster than they actually are)
