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 KB/s?

Kilobytes per second (KB/s) measures data transfer in kilobytes (1,000 bytes) per second following international decimal standards. This unit is often used for file transfer speeds.

Common uses:

  • File download speed measurements
  • Data backup speed indicators
  • Network throughput monitoring
  • Application performance metrics

Kbps vs KB/s

1 Kbps equals 0.125 KB/s. Kilobits per second is a smaller unit than Kilobytes 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 KB/s:

Choose KB/s when measuring File download speed measurements or Data backup speed indicators.

How to Convert Kbps to KB/s
