What is the kilobits per second?

Many people assume wrong in seeing kilobits with kilobytes per second. So often, people assume that the speed they are not getting maximum results.

When you play music or video clips via the internet, players generally displays the data rate in kilobits per second (Kbps). But in the internet browser and other software transfer file (see picture below) is always displayed in units of kilobytes per second (KB / Sec or KBps), which is it different from kilobits per second (Kbps).

This causes much confusion that often occurs in layman internet customers. Customers often assume that their speed can not match those promised by the service provider.
In the world of computers one byte equals 8 bits, please refer to the list. This means that one megabyte equals 8 megabits. Then, if your browser displays the transfer rate of 194 KB / Sec (see picture above), it means the same as you to donwload on the speed of 194 x 8 kilobits per second (Kbps), or a total of 1552 Kbps.

In other words, if your customer International Dedicated 64 Kbps transfer rate will be displayed approximately 8 KB / Sec or KBps. This value is still dependent on some factors which affect speed.
