Bits, Bytes and Bandwidth Reference
ITS LIKE THIS:
b = bit B = Byte Kib = kibibit kb = kilobit KiB = kibibyte kB = kilobyte Mb = megabit MiB = mebibyte MB = megabyte Gb = gigabit GiB = gibibyte GB = gigabyte Tb = terabit TiB = tebibyte TB= terabyte Pb = petabit PiB = pebibyte PB = petabyte Eb = exabit EiB = exbibyte EB = exabyte so here is it with speeds bs = bit/s Bs = Byte/s Kibs = kibibit/s kbs = kilobit/s KiBs = kibibyte/s kBs = kilobyte/s Mbs = megabit/s MiBs = mebibyte/s MBs = megabyte/s Gbs = gigabit/s GiBs = gibibyte/s GBs = gigabyte/s Tbs = terabit/s TiBs = tebibyte/s TBs = terabyte/s Pbs = petabit/s PiBs = pebibyte/s PBs = petabyte/s Ebs = exabit/s EiBs = exbibyte/s EBs = exabyte/s Usually ips write what speed you get in kbs(kilobits/s). For example: If your badwidth is 256 kbps then here kb means kilobits which means your Download speed = 256/8 = 32kB/sec. And now i will try to explain how you can convert kbs to KBs etc: 1000 bit = 1 kilobit 1000 kilobit = 1 megabit 1000 megabit = 1 gigabit 1000 gigabit = 1 terabit 1000 terabit = 1 petabit 1000 petabit = 1 exabit 1024 bits = 1 kibibit 1024 byte = 1 kibibyte 1024 kibibyte = 1 mebibyte 1024 mebibyte = 1 gibibyte 1024 gibibyte = 1 tebibyte 1024 tebibyte = 1 pebibyte 1024 pebibyte = 1 exbibyte 8 bit = 1 byte 1024 byte = 1 kilobyte 1024 kilobyte = 1 megabyte 1024 megabyte = 1 gigabyte 1024 gigabyte = 1 terabyte 1024 terabyte = 1 petabyte 1024 petabyte = 1 exabyte Well this doesnt help us much, cuz we need to figure out how many 1 megabit is in kilobyte 1 kilobit = 1000 bit = 125 byte 1 megabit = 1000 kilobit = 125 kilobyte 1 gigabit = 1000 megabit = 125000 kilobyte 1 terabit = 1000 gigabit = 125000000 kilobyte 1 petabit = 1000 terabit = 125000000000 kilobyte I hope this explains a bit, and if not, im just gonna try to give a few examples. on some known connection types, that ppl usually have with fiber or adsl. 256kilobit/s(256kbs) = 32kilobyte/s or 32kB/s or 512kilobit/s(512kbs) = 64kilobyte or 64kB/s or 768kilobit/s(768kbs) = 96kilobyte or 96kB/s or 1mbit/s(1mbs/1mbits) = 125kilobyte or 125kB/s or 10mbit/s(10mbs/10mbits) = 1250kilobyte or 1250kB/s or and just for those who doesnt know, "/s" means "per second" so 256kbs = 256 kilobit per sec
