About these units
Megabit (Mb)
A megabit equals 1,000,000 bits, a standard networking unit used to express data transfer rates. Internet speeds—both broadband and wireless—are typically quoted in megabits per second (Mbps). Because communication systems often care more about transfer rates than storage quantities, the megabit became a natural standard long before modern high-speed networks. The distinction between megabits (Mb) and megabytes (MB) is crucial, as confusing the two leads to misunderstandings about download times. Megabits remain central to evaluating network performance, streaming quality, and bandwidth provisioning.
Exabit (Eb)
An exabit is 10¹⁸ bits, used in ultra-large-scale networking, such as intercontinental fiber systems, data-center connectivity, and internet backbone capacity projections. Although no single consumer device operates at this scale, network engineers and futurists use exabit terminology to describe the explosive growth of global internet traffic. The exabit embodies the shift toward planetary-scale communication infrastructures, reflecting humanity's increasing dependence on rapid, high-bandwidth connectivity.
