A. Most computers read speed in KB/sec or KiloBytes per second. However, most internet services are rated in mbs or megabits per second. 1KB/sec = 8 kilobits per second or 1mbs = 125 KBytes/sec – for example, on dialup you get about 40kbits per second if you are lucky which translates to about 5 KiloBytes/sec on downloads. So if you use dialup and you get about 5KB on your downloads, you can get up to 125KB using this high speed residential wireless service and 375KB/second using the commercial service.
