terabit
Massive bandwidth unit
A terabit is one trillion bits—a unit of digital information storage or data transfer.
The term appears most often in networking contexts, measuring bandwidth: a terabit-per-second connection.
Abbreviated Tb or Tbit.
A terabyte, which equals eight terabits, is the more common unit for storage capacity.
