Mbit
Yes that the price in HK, HK is unlike USA or UK and many Europe countries
where bandwidth price is still quite costly.
However it is still one of the cheapest place in Asia to get bandwidth

60 Usd / Mbps is cheap if you compare in thailand.
Now i pay 600 Usd / Mbps (For good Quality International Link)

Now I'm very confused.

Are we talking Mega Bytes ?
or Mega Bytes Per Second ?
Mega Bytes per month ?
or something else again?

They're talking Mega Bit Per Second (MBPS). That's what threw
me off originally too!

Sam is using the right term!

When you get a MB in bandwidth you are getting 1 megabit per second

If you are talking about total dats transfer then of course it is megabytes

60 dollars is cheap, but not really, it depends on quantity and quality

I'm not sure what country you are comparing your bandwidth prices to, but you can buy high quality transit from Tier 1 providers for $15/Mb.

Also it doesn't make any logical sense at all to think that you use bytes rather than bits to communicate the total data transfer, it is simply a difference in units which at the end of the day should represent the same volume no matter what what you are talking about. Consumer geared language tends to use bytes more (browsers report download speed in bytes etc) but usually at the core everyone talks bits. ethernet is 10/100/1000/10000 mbits etc. If you called up a Verizon/ATT/NTT/Level 3 rep and asked them for a price on 100 mBytes/sec link they would likely send you over to their consumer DSL department until you figured out what you wanted.
