Broadband Internet DSL 1 MB

1 replies
Form the DSL Broadband Internet provider, I have purchased 1 MB DSL Internet service which means that I have purchased 1024 kb. Unfortunately whenever I download any file it only provide 120 kb/s. So why 1 MB DSL provides only 120kb/s. why not 1024 kb/s? How this speed calculate and breaks?

    Hi, First of all, I think you are confused!...

    You are trying to say: Mbps and MBps.

    The first one is Megabit Per Seconds (Mbps), this is the measure of a network bandwidth. We use it when we are talking about bandwidth of a network, for example:

    When your Internet Service Provider (Who provide you internet access, always is a telecommunication company), tell your internet speed their are talking about network bandwidth... Which are for example 128, 256, 300, 512, 600 Kbps. and also can be 1, 2 and so on Mbps.

    The second one is Megabyte Per Seconds, this one is used for data transfer, for example:

    When you download Firefox or Internet Explorer there is the data transfer unit KBps.

    Okay, about your question, if your internet provider say, you have 6 MegaBits Per Seconds(Mbps), you must have 750 KiloByte per Seconds. But that number is theoretically in other words you always is going to lose some KBps, because the medium(cooper cable), where the data transfer, the cable isn't 100% conductor, because that you can have maybe 685 KBps.

    Where you can download Mozilla Firefox with 7.1MB in 9.69 Seconds!!!...
    Super fast .... :>) Wow...

    Key term:

    1 MegaByte = 1024 KiloByte

    1 KiloByte = 1024 Byte

    1 Byte = 8 bit

    To convert Megabit Per Second do the following:

    Getting your network bandwidth

    6 Mbps * 1024 Kbps
    ------------- = 6144 Kbps
    1 Mbps

    6 Mbps (Mega bit per Second)= 6144 Kbps(Kilo bit per Second)

    6144 Kbps * 1 KBps
    ----------= 768 KBps(Data Transfer)
    8 Kbps

    The upper case "B" represent Byte.
    The Lower case "b" represent bit.
