Well, I can nitpick, too.
Just what happens after you've downloaded your 1.5 MegaBytes or
6 Megabits?
Does the connection terminate forever, never to be seen again?
I think what you both mean is 1.5 MB/s (MegaBytes/second) or 1.5 Mb/s
(Megabits/second).
Precision in speaking and writing is essential for those who are
learning, and a great timesaver for everyone.
Question: If an airplane flies at 200 knots/hr how long will it take
to reach the speed of light?
Answer: Never. It'll crash on takeoff. There are no runways long
enough.
