The megabit per second is a multiple of the unit bit for Data Transfer Rate. The prefix mega (symbol M) is defined in the International System of Units (SI) as a multiplier of 1.0 × 106 (1 million, short scale), and therefore 1 megabit per second = 1.0 × 106 bit per second = 1000000 bit per second. The megabit per second has the unit symbol Mbit/s.
The tebibit per second is a multiple of the unit bit for Data Transfer Rate. The prefix tebi (symbol Ti) is defined in the International System of Units (SI) as a multiplier of 240, and therefore 1 tebibit per second = 240 bit per second = 1099511627776 bit per second. The tebibit per second has the unit symbol Tibit/s.
