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 zebibit per second is a multiple of the unit bit for Data Transfer Rate. The prefix zebi (symbol Zi) is defined in the International System of Units (SI) as a multiplier of 270, and therefore 1 zebibit per second = 270 bit per second = 1180591620717411303424 bit per second. The zebibit per second has the unit symbol Zibit/s.
