The current speed we have at our office in Shop for PC games is of about 100 MBPS (Mega bit per second) and the downloading speed that we ought to get from this is about 100 mega bytes of downloading. That is not the case because to the naive user and a naive customer when a person realizes that he is getting 100 MBs he thinks its 100 Mega Bytes of speed but in turn the company is providing 100 Mega Bits of speed that is 1/8 of the speed of 100 Mega Bytes.
