Nothing on our list is smaller: dial-up is 560× faster. A 4 GB movie would take 10.14 years to download.
What it means
How fast is that connection?
Advertised speeds are maximums. Real transfers lose 10 to 20% to protocol overhead before anything else slows them down.
The math
How to convert bit/s to kbps
To convert bits per second to kilobits per second, multiply by 0.001.
Example: 100 bit/s × 0.001 = 0.1 kbps.
In the other direction, 1 kbps = 1,000 bit/s.

The units
About these units
Bits per second (bit/s)
One bit per second is the base unit of data rate: a single 0 or 1 each second. Everything else is a multiple of it.
Kilobits per second (kbps)
A kilobit per second is 1,000 bits per second. Dial-up peaked at 56 kbps, and audio streams are still rated in kbps.
