Rep Power: 2  |  kbps or KBPS I saw in few threads that some peoples mention kBps instead of kbps. there is often confusion between these two. Typically they are not same kbps or kb/s is actaully kilobits per second and kBps or kB/s or KBPS or KB/s is kilobytes per second. so kBps is 8 times of kbps. Network connections are generally expressed in kbps Many of u must be knowing well about this, but just thought of sharing. |

Rep Power: 1 | These internet providers always say kilobits per sec[Kbps] in their plans and on banners.... but when come to Downloading it always shows in kilobytes per sec [KBps] So when ever when ever internet providers says that kbps we hav to convert them into KBps to know the Download speed Ex:- 256Kbps means 256/8 = 32KBps |
