I still decided to contact Firefox support on the issue Transfer rate. I bring the transcript of the live chat. Maybe there are also incompetent workers!
Update
Good answer, I think
Depending on the severity of the wording.
If the implication is `` well, everybody knows, what's the internet megabits, and here are the winchesters '', it can be as much as you like. Depending on prior agreements and / or context.
If the wording of the class is meant; a serious international standard for techies" – then everything is simple and unambiguous. What is a 'beat'" and & quot; byte" – everybody knows; & quot; mega & quot; / & quot; kilo prefixes" and so on. unambiguously and unambiguously defined in the SI system and equal to & quot; 1 000 000" и "1 000" respectively; for 'technical millions" prefixes, denoting & quot; 1024 * 1024" и "1024" also identified, but in no way called 'mega" и "кило", because they are called 'mebi" и "киби", according to ISO / IEC IEC standard 80000-13:2008.
Final conclusion: one byte is (usually) eight bits; one mega-anything equals one million of anything, one mebi-anything is equal 1 048 576 чего-угодно, 4.3 MB/sec = 34.4 Mbps ~ 4.1 MiB/sec ~ 32.8 Mibps.
