Now, if you can actually sustain that kind of speed is another story. Everything depends on the network, location, and many other factors.

Remember, 8 bits go into one byte, So 1 megabyte, is 8 megabits, and 10 megabits is going to be 1.2 megabytes.
Most (good) providers will offer an upgrade to a 100 megabits /second port for only about $10 extra per month.0

do you know the difference between a bit and a byte?

K = 1,024
k= 1,000
B = Bytes
b= bits
Therefore little b => bits; therefore 10mb => 10 megabits therefore 10mbps => 10 megabits per second.

10mbps = around 1.2 MB/s
100mbps = around 12 MB /s
thats the speed I get on my servers.......and as other have told you, use a converter and you will se for your self.

It is true however that you generally don't see the full speed. You usually "only" get 1.1MB/s from a 10mbit line and 11MB/s from a 100mbit line instead of 1.2MB/s and 12.5MB/s respectively.0

you get:
10mbps = around 1.2 MegaByte/s
100mbps = around 12 MegaByte/s
But as MikeHart writes: You get around 1.1 MB/s and 11 MB/s in "real life".My Top 20 benchmark list (and review site)

Come on, guys. Did you forget high school? The earliest computers could only send 8 bits at a time, so we divide. That's how I always remembered it.

Firstly, congratulations on bringing up a 2 year old thread
To answer your question, you can pick up the full speed of the connection. If it is a 10Mbps (10 megabits per second) connection, then you can get 10Mbps. In real life, individual transfers may be slowed down by physical distance, but there is nothing preventing you from saturating a full 10Mbps uplink with sufficient users.Scott Burns, President
