What do Kbps and Mbps mean?

Gower.Net - DSL FAQ
Kbps and Mbps are measures of speed. Specifically, they measure how fast data is sent to or received from the Internet. Kbps stands for Kilobits per second (1,000 bits per second). Mbps stands for Megabits per second (1,000,000 bits per second). Any data that is sent or received in a digital format, such as e-mail or web pages, has a specific size measured in bits. The larger the piece of data, the more bits it comprises. See similar questions...

back to top What do Kbps and Mbps mean?

DSL World ADSL Broadband Internet Access
Kbps mean Kilobit per second and Mbps means Megabits per second. The speed of an Internet connection is measured in 'bits per second'. One Kilobit is one thousand bits and one Megabit is one million bits (or a thousand Kilobits).These speeds may also be represented as K or Kb, and M or Mb. See similar questions...

What does Mbps mean?

Mbps refers to Megabits Per Seconds. It is an indicator of the transfer speed of the service, but it does not relate to service latency. See similar questions...

What is a Mbps?

Welcome to Unisecure Hosting Services
Mbps is a measurement used to calculate transfer speed. Mbps stands for Megabits per second. A sustained transfer rate of 1 Megabit per second over a period of one month would total approximately 300GB (Gigabytes) of total transfer. Since transfer rates are averaged, if half the time the transfer rate was .5 Mbps, then half the time was 1.5 Mbps, the average would still be 1Mbps, and the total amount of information transferred would still average out to be the same.

Why do businesses need more than 256 kbps?

FAQ
We do not make lower bandwidths available to businesses because the requirements of business are often greater than what residences require. Since businesses typically have multiple computers connected to the internet, each computer will experience slower performance the more computers are connected to the LAN. Plus, businesses often connect to a server at headquarters or at a remote office. Increased bandwidth ensures adequate performance for these remote connections. See similar questions...

Why does SpeedTest report a speed of 1 Mbps for my 3 Mbps cable modem?

OneStopClick ? Bandwidth Speed and Quality of Service Test -...
Because your download speed during the test was only 1 Mbps. SpeedTest reports actual measured speeds, not rated speeds. Many DSL providers do not guarantee any download speeds at this time. The reason is because you actually share your Internet connection other Internet users in your and when too many users all use the Internet at the same time, everyone suffers with slower speeds.

Why did Sony choose bitrates of 18, 25 and 35 Mbps?

XDCAM FAQ - XDCAM HD FAQ - TapeOnline.com Answers XDCAM (PFD...
Because MPEG2 includes both interframe and intraframe compression technology, it can offer higher quality at lower bitrates than intraframe compression alone. The XDCAM HD system uses 18 Mbps and 35 Mbps variable bitrates, plus a 25 Mbps constant bitrate. These rates offer decisive advantages in cost, recording time and compatibility. For example, the XDCAM HD system offers the longest recording time currently available in an HD camcorder: over 120 minutes at 18 Mbps. See similar questions...
