What is a megabit [Mb] used for?

A megabit is typically used to express network speeds, streaming bitrates, and communication bandwidth, such as in internet connection plans.

When should I use petabits [Pb]?

Petabits quantify very large data amounts or high data-transfer capacities, useful for backbone networks, data centers, and large scientific data transfers.

Is this conversion suitable for binary units like mebibit?

No, this conversion assumes SI units and does not directly apply to binary-based units like mebibit or pebibit without using proper conversion factors.
