bytes per second

Data flow speed

Bytes per second is a measure of data transfer rate—how much digital information moves through a connection or process in one second.

Usually abbreviated as B/s or Bps, with capital B to distinguish from bits per second (bps).

Common with prefixes: kilobytes per second (KB/s), megabytes per second (MB/s), gigabytes per second (GB/s).

The download speed maxed out at 50 megabytes per second.
