THIS SHOULD CLEAR THINGS UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The word bit is a shortening of the words "Binary digIT.
Bits have only two possible values: 0 and 1. There 8 bits in a byte (4 bits in a Nibble)
bps is an indication of how many bits that pass a certain point in one second. The larger the bps rate the faster the download and/or upload time will be.
Bps or bytes per second is the same as bits per second, however instead of bits the speed is measured in bytes.
Now you know what happened to all of the old telemarketers that lost their jobs because of the DoNotCall Registry. These "first level idiots" get paid $10.00 per hour to read cue cards. They are trained like sheep. The smart Techs are all Consultants making between $20.00 & $75.00 per hour.
