Bytes or bits: MB/s or Mb/s
Choose whether NetSpeedDisplay shows speed in megabytes per second or megabits per second, with an optional short format.
Internet plans are sold in megabits per second (Mb/s), while downloads usually show megabytes per second (MB/s). NetSpeedDisplay lets you pick the one you prefer under Speed unit.
- B (Byte): MB/s, matching what browsers and download managers show.
- b (bit): Mb/s, matching the speed on your internet plan.
- Short mode for speed display: a more compact readout for small taskbars.
One byte is eight bits, so divide Mb/s by eight to get MB/s. See KB/s, MB/s and Mbps explained.
