512 kbps is equivalent to 64 ko/s. Therefore, 1 kbps is equal to 0.128 ko/s.

    1 byte is equal to 8 bits
    a kibibyte is equal to 1024 bytes
    however, 1 kilobit is equal to 1000 bits

    so 512 kbps = 512000 bit/s = 512000/8 = 64000 o/s = 62.5 kiobyte/s

    so more than 20 kiobyte/s

    Il me semble que 8 Kbit = 1 Ko.

        Especially since there is a lot of confusion between the kilobyte, which is supposed to be equal to 1000 bytes, and the kibibyte, which is equal to 1024 bytes.

        Windows calls a kibibyte a kilobyte.

    I got scammed. I signed up for a trial period with the famous Usenet which promised us downloads at several MB, and thinking I would be downloading at over 3 MB, maybe even up to 4-5 MB, I find that I am only downloading at 6000 Kbits/s. Dividing by 8 gives 8.720 kB/s, so I’m very far from the MB promised by Usenet!! Tsss, but too bad for them, in 14 days I’ll cancel my account. I don’t want to lose 90 euros for a speed that I can get for free!!!

    I hope this can help
    1 Megabit per second (Mbps) = 1,024 Kilobits per second (Kbps)
    1 Gigabit per second (Gbps) = 1,024 Mbps = 1,048,576 Kbps
    1 Kilobyte per second (KBps) = 8 Kbps
    1 Megabyte per second (MBps) = 1,024 KBps = 8,192 Kbps
    1 Gigabyte per second (GBps) = 1,024 MBps = 8,388,608 Kbps

      Uh, that conversion is incorrect.

      1Mbps = 1000 Kbps
      1Gbps = 1000 Mbps

      1MBps = 1Mops (Megabyte)

      We count in powers of 10 for kilo, mega, and giga; it's for kibi, mebi, and gibi bytes that we count in powers of 2 (1024).

      Moreover, 1 octet = 1 byte but 1 byte != 1 octet. We translate byte as octet because most of the time 1 byte = 8 bits but it can also be 5, 6, 9...
