Calculate Your Speed
Microsoft's Internet Explorer erroneously shows your download speed in KiloBytes per second. KiloBytes is a storage measurement not a speed measurement. Broad Band speed is typically measured in MegaBits per second. Enter the.... BroadBand Data Rate Calculator
There is widespread confusion regarding the difference between binary and decimal kilobytes and megabytes. Since both types of measurements are used when referring to data storage capacity, it is important to distinguish between the two. Since the abbreviation for kilo is a lowercase k, this is used for decimal kilobytes and an uppercase K is used to indicate binary kilobytes. This is an established convention and should always be followed (though it isn't always). In this calculator, we use the BINARY NUMBER SYSTEM. Kilobyte (KB or K) = 1024 bytes megabit (Mb) = 1,048,576 bits gigabit (Gb) = 1,073,741,824 bits | |||
