if you are on about the speed of your broadband, it is measured in bits per second (bps), which like frequency, is dependant on time, your old one being 300Kbps your new one being 1Mbps

a mb for storage (should be MB as it is Mega Byte and not bit) is a different thing altogether

Just been upgraded to 3 meg with NTL - very nice but big talk about NTL enforcing their 1 Gig per day Download guidelines which would be a bummer..
