While using the internet many of us get confused by the bandwidth figures provided by our Internet Service Provider (ISP).
Following information clears many things that appear before our eyes.
bps: bits per second
Kbps: Kilo bits per second (103)
Mbps: Mega bits per seconds (106)
Gbps: Giga bits per second (109)
Broadband: In India broadband is defined as bandwidth that is 256 Kbps and above.
Bandwidth figures are tabulated below:
Latest technological developments in mobile telephony from 2G, 3G to 4G, have made high speed internet accessible to common man. One can get 3.1 Mbps, 7 Mbps, Upto 21 Mbps bandwidth on their mobile phone using3G. 4G LTE is promising even more.
Hope this basic information is useful.... Keep it handy. Save it somewhere !!!
