bits per second The amount of data (bits) per
second a network connection can handle. The greater the amount the more it
can deal with and faster it becomes. 56k dial up modem - 56Kbps - 56,000
bits per second (K stands for Kilo, which is 1000)
512k broadband - 512Kbps - 512,000 bits per second
4Meg broadband - 4Mbps - 4,000,000 bits per second (M stands for Mega,
which is 1 million)
