    I think I made a typo and misread the title itself. the full uppercase and lowercasing of data speeds is confusing to me

      One is a rate of data, the other is an amount.

      Mbps means megabits per second.

      MB is just megabytes. You can of course turn it into a rate, but then it would be MB/s.

      There are 8 bits in a byte, so 100 Mbps would be 12.5 MB/s (divide by 8)
