There appears to be some confusion as to what KB/s and Mbps really are and why we measure internet speeds in one or the other. In many cases your broadband provider is giving you one figure and online internet speed checkers are displaying another. Many people believe 1Mbps is the same as 1MB/s, however this is not the case. Bytes and Bits The confusion is mainly due to bytes and bits. These are two different ways of measuring data and although they sound similar 1 byte is actually 8 bits. To help reduce some confusion, bytes and bits are displayed differently in acronym form – bytes use capitalized “B”’s while bits use lower case “b”’s. • 1 byte is 1B • 1 bit is 1b. Instead of having very long numbers we round up bytes into Kilobytes (KB) and Megabytes (MB). • 1 kilobyte = 1000 bytes = 1KB • 1 megabyte = 1000000 bytes = 1MB We also round up bits into kilobits (Kb) and megabits (Mb). • 1 kilobit = 1000 bits = 1Kb • 1 megabit = 1000000 bits = 1Mb How do bytes and bits affect data transfer speeds? The speed in which data is transferred over the internet is measured in bytes per second (B/s) or bits per second (bps). Many companies choose to display their speeds in bps as the numbers appear larger. Your internet connection has two different speeds, a download speed and an upload speed. Internet service providers tend to give you their maximum download speed; this shows how fast your computer could download a song or a web page in optimum circumstances. However if you plan to place files on the cloud you should also take note of your ISP’s upload speed; this shows how fast data can be transferred from your computer to the internet. When uploading files to Livedrive you may see a speed of 125KB/s, this actually the same as a speed of 1Mbps. As previously explained this is because 1 byte is the same as 8 bits. Our maths can be seen below; • 125KB/s = 125,000 bytes of data per second. • 1Mbps = 1,000,000 bits of data every second. • 125,000 bytes x 8 = 1,000,000 bits BACKGROUND MUSIC- Corporate Background Music Collection - 'Presentation' (Royalty Free Track by audiomarket)
