Despite the fact that they’re similar words with similar abbreviations, megabits (Mb) and megabytes (MB) are different units of measurement. Here’s what they measure, and when they’re used.

尽管它们是具有相似缩写的相似词，但兆位(Mb)和兆字节(MB)是不同的度量单位。 这是它们测量的时间以及使用它们的时间。

位与字节 (Bits vs. Bytes)

If you’ve shopped for a plan from an internet service provider (ISP) recently, you might have noticed that the company promoted its broadband speeds in terms of mega- or gigabits per second. On the other hand, most mobile or internet plans with data caps measure your maximum usage in terms of mega- or gigabytes.

如果您最近购买了互联网服务提供商(ISP)的计划，则可能已经注意到该公司以每秒兆或千兆位的速度提高了宽带速度 。 另一方面，大多数具有数据上限的移动或互联网计划都以兆字节或千兆字节为单位来衡量您的最大使用量。

You might think these two figures are the same. However, a “bit” and a “byte” are distinct units of measurement that are used for different things. Each byte is comprised of eight bits. Therefore, one megabyte is equal to eight megabit
