But what the heck is Mpbs”?
I cannot locate the original articles online, but my photos are dated September 10th, so the articles appeared either on that day, or less than a week before.
Thanks

I've spent the best part of a week, more off than on, wondering about it.
I'm serious about "being out of the loop", especially when it comes to technical terminology.
Gone are the days when I avidly read Byte, Computing Canada and other periodicals.
Cheers

I might buy this explanation.Rudi wrote:Mega packets by second.
But if a "packet" is still 128 bytes (or the bit or Shannon equivalent), then it is only a saving of order of 27, or about 10^32
Doesn't seem like a terribly useful abrvn to me.

It's quite simple - Mbps is a measure of download bitrate, and Mpbs is a measure of upload bitrate. The bits/letters go in the opposite direction, don't they!
