Hi. In which unit speed is measured > kilobits/s or kilobytes/s ? If it is kilobits/s dial up gives 56 kilobits /s only ? And UL750 gives only 256kilobits/s?

the speed provided by the isp is always measure by kilobits only.

As "prasannaganesh" has said, service providers refer to speed by kilobit/s unit.

8 kilobit/s = 8 kb/s = 1 kilobyte/s = 1 kB/s

and, 1024 kilobit/s = 1 mbit/s = 1024/8 kilobyte/s = 256 kilobyte/s = 256 kB/s

dialup = 56 kilobit/s = 56/8 kiloByte/s = 7 kB/s
UL 750 = 256 kilobit/s = 256/8 kilobyte/s = 32 kB/s

kilobits as eva leo da told..

maybe someday ISPs will say 1mb speed unliminted plan*

*conditions apply 1mb =1megabots or 24kbps

I used to get 8- 9 KBps in dial up. I have download 100 MB rapidshare files with it.

I get maximum speed when raining. The line had many joints. It takes upto 4 hours to download 100 MB file. No idea how.

isnt there anyway to plugin connection with padosi's like we did sometimes with cable dish connection....putting your cable onto one's

I just did a calculation and it seems that 100mb in 4 hrs gets u a speed of 7.111kBps.
i.e. 7.1*8 = 56.8 Kbps.

its exactly what u r suposed to get.

Speed is measured in kilo bits/s or kilo bytes/s ?
