FAQ
What is the difference between bps and B/s?
bps stands for bits per second, while B/s stands for Bytes per second. 1 Byte = 8 bits, so 1 B/s = 8 bps. Network bandwidth is typically measured in bps (or Kbps, Mbps, Gbps), while download speeds are shown in B/s (or KB/s, MB/s). For example, a 100Mbps connection has a theoretical maximum download speed of 12.5MB/s.
Why is my 100Mbps internet only downloading at 12.5MB/s?
Because ISPs advertise speeds in Mbps (megabits per second), but download managers display speeds in MB/s (megabytes per second). Since 1 MB/s = 8 Mbps, 100 Mbps divided by 8 equals 12.5 MB/s. This is normal and not a network issue.
How do I convert Kbps to KB/s?
1 KB/s = 8 Kbps. Kbps is kilobits per second, KB/s is kilobytes per second. For example, a 512 Kbps upload speed equals 64 KB/s.
What data transfer rate units does this tool support?
It supports 8 common units: bps, Kbps, Mbps, Gbps, B/s, KB/s, MB/s, and GB/s. Covering everything from dial-up to fiber optic speeds.
