In data communications, a kilobit is a thousand bits (1,000) bits. It's commonly used for measuring the amount of data that is transferred in a second between two points. Kilobits per second is usually shortened to Kbps (or kbps). For example, 53.333kbps is 53,333 bits per second. 1 kb/s = 1000 b/s 1 KB/s = 1024 B/s 1 KB/s = 8.192 kb/s 1 kb/s = .1221 KB/s The lowercase b usually stands for bits while the uppercase B stands for bytes. To find your theoretical download speed for your line, divide your advertised speed by 8.192: 53.333kbps / 8.192 = 6.51 KB/s or by 10 to include overhead: 53.333kbps / 10 = 5.33 KB/s got feedback? by redxii edited by TravisB |
