No. Mbps means megabits per second, while MB/s means megabytes per second. Because one byte contains eight bits, 100 Mbps equals 12.5 MB/s, not 100 MB/s.
NIST distinguishes bits from bytes and defines a decimal megabyte as one million bytes. Internet provider edpnet gives the same practical conversion: divide the Mbps figure by eight to express it in MB/s.
That conversion does not guarantee an actual file download rate. Protocol overhead, shared connections, Wi-Fi conditions and server capacity can reduce throughput. Also check whether an application uses MB/s or MiB/s: a mebibyte is a different, binary-based unit.
Divide Mbps by eight to convert to decimal MB/s. Actual download performance can be lower.

NIST defines one byte as eight bits and one decimal megabyte as one million bytes. Therefore, 100 million bits per second equals 12.5 million bytes per second.

edpnet
The provider explicitly explains that 100 Mbps corresponds to 12.5 megabytes per second, confirming that the two numerical rates are not interchangeable.

No. Several stainless steel families are strongly attracted to magnets. Other grades respond weakly, and manufacturing can change their magnetic behaviour.
Yes. Solar panels can use diffuse daylight when clouds block direct sunshine. Their output generally falls as less sunlight reaches the cells.
Yes. Synthetic aperture radar sends its own pulses and uses their echoes to form images. It can operate through clouds and without sunlight.
