What is bps?

Bits per second (bps) is the fundamental unit of data transfer rate, representing the number of bits transmitted or received per second.

Common uses:

  • Measuring very low-speed connections
  • Basic telecommunication systems
  • Serial communication protocols
  • Fundamental network speed calculations

What is Kbps?

Kilobits per second (Kbps) represents 1,000 bits transmitted per second following international decimal standards. This unit is commonly used for measuring internet connection speeds.

Common uses:

  • Early internet connection speeds
  • Mobile data speed measurements
  • Audio streaming quality indicators
  • Basic broadband connections

bps vs Kbps

1 bps equals 0.001 Kbps. bits per second is a smaller unit than Kilobits per second, providing more precise measurements for lower data transfer rates.

When to use bps:

Choose bps when measuring Measuring very low-speed connections or Basic telecommunication systems.

When to use Kbps:

Choose Kbps when measuring Early internet connection speeds or Mobile data speed measurements.

How to Convert bps to Kbps

Formula:

bps × 0.001 = Kbps

Example:

Example: 1 bps × 0.001 = 0.001 Kbps

How to Convert Kbps to bps

Formula:

Kbps ÷ 0.001 = bps

Example:

Example: 0.001 Kbps ÷ 0.001 = 1 bps
