HELP need.. Difference between kbps & KB/s???

[bigben]

I have downloaded using Mobitel broadband yesterdy night...

Mobile partner eke Mobitel wala download speed eka maximum 1.01Mbps witara awa. Speedtest eke results r also same..

Eunata Download manager eke file eka download une 110-140 KB/s speed eke...

Is there any difference between kbps & KB/s ? ...

Mobitel eke kiyana 1Mbps speed eke speedtest anuwa tibunath file eka e speeed eken download wenne nette ei??

INTERNET EXPERTS, NEED UR HELP pls....

Bits & Bytes.
Mb = Mega Bits
MB = Mega Bytes

8bit = 1 byte
1024 bytes = 1kilo byte(KB)
1024 kilo bytes = 1mega byte(MB)

A bit is a single numeric value, either '1' or '0', that encodes a single unit of digital information. A byte is a sequence of 8 bits.

Usually, data communication speed is measured in bits/kilobits/megabits per second, while storage space is measured in bytes/kilobytes/megabytes.

In data communications, a Kilobit is one thousand bits. It is used to measure the amount of data transferred per second. Kilobits per second is shortened to kb/s, Kbps or kbps (as opposed to KBps, which is Kilobytes per second. Note the capitalization). The lowercase b is commonly used to denote bits, while the uppercase B is used for bytes.

1 kb/s = 1000 bits per second
1 KB/s = 1024 bytes per second

ya there is ..

that is Kilobits and Kilobytes
Also Megabits and Megabytes

1 KB/s = 1024 bytes per second

Kbps and KB/sec
Kbps = KB/sec this is the same

6-8 Kb/sec = estimated/calculated/approximated download speed..
translates to 6Kb*60 seconds = 360Kb/min (roughly 33% or 1/3 MB)

1 MB = 1024 KB = 1.048.576 bytes
5 MB = 5120 KB = 5.242.880 bytes
1 min = 60 sec = 1/60 hr
11 min = 660 sec = 11/60 hr

5.242.880 bytes / 660 sec = 7943.7575757575757575 b/sec

convert to kilobytes..
7943.757575757575757575 bytes / 1024 = 7.757575 Kb in one second

so your estimate of 6-8Kb/sec is right on and 11 minutes is about right.

synopsis:

1TB = 1024GB = 1.048.576MB = 1.073.741.824KB = 1.099.511.627.776 bytes.. not bits
thats next..

any of the above TB, GB, MB, KB, bytes etc.. etc.. multiplied by an amount of time
equals amount/time e.g. : Kb/sec or b/sec

now for bits vs bytes..
8 bits to 1 byte

the letter 'A' in ascii is represented as a binary value of '01000001' <see all 8 bits?
so the letter 'A' = 1 byte or 8bits

There are a million variables that can affect download speed, knowing this isnt one of them.

Internet speed = Download speed

256 kbps = 31,3 KB/s
512 kbps = 62,5 KB/s
1 mbps = 122,1 KB/s
5 mbps = 610,3 KB/s
10 mbps = 1220,7 KB/s

In Simple:

1/8 * kbps = KB/s

 

[Elcid]

It is correct. 8 bits-> 1 Byte
1024 byte -> 1 kB
when u r downloading from a broad band connection there may be a diefference in the downloading speed with the speed ISP told u.

Internet speed = Download speed

256 kbps = 31,3 KB/s
512 kbps = 62,5 KB/s
1 mbps = 122,1 KB/s
5 mbps = 610,3 KB/s
10 mbps = 1220,7 KB/s

good explanation.........
