We all know the speed given after exceeding the data limit of time base packages. But what 90% of people think is wrong. The reason is the misunderstanding.
Today I am going to talk about the common misconceptions about internet speed
First let's see what KBps and Kbps (kpbs are also called) are. KBps and kpbs are two types of data transmission to measure speed.
01. KBps - Kilo bytes per second
This is used to measure the file size. In computer technology the word K is used to represent the value 1024. So we can see how the file size is created.
1KB (KiloByte) = 1024 Bytes (Approximately 1000 Bytes)
1MB (MegaByte) = 1024 KB (approximately 1000 KiloBytes or 1 million Bytes)
1GB (GigaByte) = 1024 MB (approximately 1000 MegaBytes or 1 billion Bytes)
1TB (TerraByte) = 1024 GB (approximately 1000 GigaBytes or 1 trillion Bytes)
02.Kbps or kbps - kilo bits per second
Here is how to measure data transfer speed. These Kbps, or kbps, are used on the Internet or on a local network, not KBps. Let us now see how this speed develops. In computer technology k is used to represent a value of 1000.
1 kbps (kilo bits per second) = 1000 bits per second
1 Mbps (mega bits per second) = 1000 kilo bits per second.
1 Gbps (giga bits per second) = 1,000 mega bits per second.
Internet service provider and Internet speed
This is a place where most people get involved. Like I said before, a lot of people think that KBps and IDM are one and the same due to misunderstanding and ignorance. Yeah Al that sounds pretty crap to me, Looks like BT aint for me either.
For example, the timebased packages of an ISP in the country. After a certain data limit in those packages, the transfer speed decreases to 512Kbps. After coming to that speed, people often say that Apo Sloane does not give that speed.
What is really happening there is people expecting a speed of 512KBps and not 512kbps. The reason for that is the reason I mentioned above. What is the value of 512kbps if it is measured in KBps that people really expect?
It has a simple equation.
Download KBPS speed = (Kbps value * 1000) / 8)) / 1024.
For example, let's say the above 512kbps or 512Kbps only.
512 * 1000 = 512000
512000/8 = 64000
64000/1024 = 62.5 KBps
The final answer was 62.5KBps. This means that at 512Kbps speed we actually transfer 62.5 kilo bytes (number of kilobytes) per second. That's MB, or measured in megabytes, which is approximately 0.0625 megabytes.
In the meanwhile the speed decreases with the loss of signal and another speed decreases.
Let's talk about the 4Mbps speed of broadband connections. 4Mbps is formed by 1Mbps when 4 of them are added. How much data is actually coming in per second at a speed of 1Mbps?
When left to the equation above
1Mbps = 122.1KBps
That means if we get a speed of 1Mbps per second, the size of the data we get per second will be 122.1KB. Without 1Mbps you will not get 1MB (mega byte) per second.
Here is the real story. Many people now understand the difference between Kbps and KBps and Mbps and MBps.
We will talk more about this in the comment section below. If something goes wrong, let's talk about it.
