What does mb mean in traffic?

MB is the unit of traffic data in computer or mobile communication, full name is megabyte, and it is the measurement unit of network traffic. Generally speaking, an ordinary short message only takes up about 1KB, while a high-definition picture may take up more than 3MB of traffic. Users usually pay attention to their traffic usage when using the network to avoid extra costs.

In computer or mobile communication, 1MB is usually equal to 1024KB, and 1KB is equal to 1024 bytes. Therefore, 1MB is actually equal to 1024* 1024 bytes, which is about 1 million bytes. When using the network, we often need to inquire about our traffic usage from the operators, calculate the data size of the traffic by ourselves, and make corresponding conversion. At the same time, many network services will automatically help us convert data units into MB or GB, so that we can understand the data size more intuitively.

In modern society, our dependence on the network is getting higher and higher, and the frequency of traffic usage is getting higher and higher. Therefore, in our spare time, we might as well learn some methods to control the use of traffic to avoid waste and unnecessary expenses. For example, we can control traffic usage by turning off the automatic download and update function, limiting the clarity of video and music playback, and selecting traffic-saving applications. At the same time, we need to pay attention to our traffic usage and adjust our behavior in time to make rational use of the network.
