What does 10 Mbps mean when using the Internet?

Question

Today I signed a phone service contract which offers “Unlimited data at a maximum speed of 10 Mbps” and “EU roaming data limit 40 GB”. I picked it because it was the cheapest offer, but I’d be lying if I said I know what 10Mbps and roaming data limit 40GB mean or what I can use them for.

I’m not really computer or Internet savvy.

Thanks.

Answer 1

Means download speed of 10 megabits per second

Just over 1 megabyte a second given that there are 8 bits in a byte
