Kilobytes per second = KB/s Kilobits per second = kbps Your browser reports speeds in KB/s, the speed tests here at DSLR report speeds in kbps. 1 kbps = 1000 bps 1 KB/s = 1024 B/s 1 KB/s = 8.192 kbps 1 kbps = .1221 KB/s KB/s to kbps Take KB/s and multiply by 8.192 Example 100KB/s = 819.2kbps kbps to KB/s Take kbps and divide by 8.192 (or multiply by .1221) Example 1000kbps = 122KB/s show feedback form
