Cultural Tip
In German technical talk, ‘Mbps’ is usually spoken as ‘Megabit pro Sekunde’ and treated as a singular noun, so the verb stays singular (ist). Avoid saying ‘Mehr Mbps sind schneller’, which would be a common agreement error. Also, Germans often prefer the ‘je … desto …’ construction for comparisons, as shown in one of the alternatives.
