Mbps refers to Megabits Per Seconds. It is an indicator of the transfer speed of the service, but it does not relate to service latency.

Mbps is a measurement used to calculate transfer speed. Mbps stands for Megabits per second. A sustained transfer rate of 1 Megabit per second over a period of one month would total approximately 300GB (Gigabytes) of total transfer. Since transfer rates are averaged, if half the time the transfer rate was .5 Mbps, then half the time was 1.5 Mbps, the average would still be 1Mbps, and the total amount of information transferred would still average out to be the same.
