Almost always in Kilobits or Megabits. Note, this is not Bytes.
16384 kilobits
The speed of a modem is determined by the number of kilobits or megabits per second it can transmit and receive.
One megabyte is equal to 8,000 kilobits.
There are 160,000 kilobits (Kb) in 20,000 kilobytes (KB)
Megabits are bigger than kilobits. Specifically, one megabit is equal to 1,000 kilobits. Therefore, when comparing the two, a megabit represents a larger quantity of data than a kilobit.
Kilobits per second, or kbps is a measure used in computer technology. It measures the rate of data transfer on computers.
Network speed is typically measured in kilobits per second (Kbps), megabits per second (Mbps), or gigabits per second (Gbps). This measurement refers to the amount of data that can be transferred over a network in a given amount of time. The higher the value, the faster the network speed.
Basically how much information is being sent per second.Kbps--1000 bits per secondMbps--1000 kilobits per secondGbps--1000 megabits per second
Any sort of transfer of the Internet is measured in bits per second. Generally modems or other devices will round to the highest unit they can. Most devices today can measure their transfer speed in megabits per seconds (Mb/s). Older devices, and even slower devices today are measured in kilobits per second (Kb/s). Another thing to keep in mind these are bits, not bytes, a byte is 8 bits.
Kilobits = one thousand bits per second transmitted Megabit = one million bits per second transmitted
