Use the adjective "rapide" for a comparative statement; "vite" is an adverb and does not agree with the noun.
Plus de Mbps c'est plus rapide.
Missing punctuation can make the sentence sound rushed; a comma after "Mbps" clarifies the two linked ideas.
Plus de Mbps, c'est plus rapide que avant.
When using "plus ... que", the comparison must be explicit; otherwise, the sentence is already clear without "que".

Cultural Tip
In French, people often talk about "débit" or "bande passante" rather than the raw unit "Mbps". When speaking informally, you might hear "plus de vitesse" but grammatically the correct comparative uses the adjective "rapide" (e.g., "c'est plus rapide"). Also, remember that "plus" can be ambiguous in negative sentences; a pause or context helps avoid confusion.
