What does Kbps and Mbps mean?
• Kbps and Mbps are measures of speed and measure how fast data is sent to or received from the internet. • Kbps: Kilobits per second (1,000 bits per second) • Mbps: Megabits per second (1,000 bits per second) • Any data that is sent or received in a digital format, such as email or web pages, has a specific size measured in bits. The larger the piece of data, the more bits it comprises. Every connection to the Internet is capable of moving a specified amount of data in a specified timeframe. For example, a 768 Kbps DSL connection is capable of transmitting 768,000 bits per second.
