The speeds above are the same factor for Upload as well. It's worth noting that some of your bandwith is eaten up by packet headers. Your upload and download speed are dependent upon each other, so if you use a lot of upload it can affect your download speed.Speed (kbps) Translated to: Speed (KBps) Note: 1 Kilobyte = 8 Kilobits. Or, To calculate kilobits from kilobytes, "multiply" by 8. Example: 1 Kilobyte = 8 kilobits What's this mean to me? In the image above, the download speed is indicated in KBps. Using the chart, that translates to an actual download speed of around 1250 kbps, or 1.25 megabits. For example: 1500 Downstream is equal to 1500/8 (1500 divided by 8) Which gives you 187.5KBps maximum downstream. Reaching That speed with a 1.5Mbps connection (1500kbps) is theoretically minimal, although you may come close.
Finally I find somebody that made a chart for this. Good Job. Reality is perception for these companies lol. 2010-01-19 16:31:35 I found the best rule for conversion that works for me is to remember there are 8 bits in a byte and 1024 bytes in a kilobyte 1024 kilobytes in a megabyte..... e.g. a 256 Kbps connection converts to 31.25 KBps , = 256000 bits divided by 8 = 32000 bytes then divided by 1024 = 31.25 kilobytes . 2010-02-04 04:14:38 by Fender250 Also read About DSL for lots more information | |||||
