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

What is Gbps?

Gigabits per second (Gbps) represents extremely high-speed data transfers at 1,000,000,000 bits per second following international decimal standards.

Common uses:

  • Data center interconnects
  • High-performance computing
  • Fiber optic network backbone
  • 5G network infrastructure

Kbps vs Gbps

1 Kbps equals 0 Gbps. Kilobits per second is a smaller unit than Gigabits per second, providing more precise measurements for lower data transfer rates.

When to use Kbps:

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

When to use Gbps:

Choose Gbps when measuring Data center interconnects or High-performance computing.

How to Convert Kbps to Gbps

Formula:

Kbps × 0.000001 = Gbps

Example:

Example: 1 Kbps × 0.000001 = 0.000001 Gbps

How to Convert Gbps to Kbps

Formula:

Gbps ÷ 0.000001 = Kbps

Example:

Example: 0.000001 Gbps ÷ 0.000001 = 1 Kbps
