1mbps = 1000kbps (Kilobit (kbit/s or kb/s or kbps)
1MBps = 1024kBps (Kilobyte (kB/s or kBps))
8 kb (Kilobit) = 1MB (MegaByte)
B = Byte, b = Bit.
54Mbps or mbps is 54000kbps
54 mbps is standard and actually quite fast. Anything below is moderate or horrid
What are the different types of broadband?
Mobile Broadband also known as 3G, wireless broadband
Broadband connection over the mobile phone towers. Can be taken anywhere and is usually accessed through a dongle or microSIM. Coverage is important as a weak signal will result in poor speeds and drop outs.
ADSL/ADSL2+
Broadband through the landline. Fixed to one address. Fast speeds - up to 24Mbps on ADSL2+. Speeds are affected by the distance from the home to the telephone exchange, with speed deteriorating over distance. Good value.
Cable Broadband
Broadband through a dedicated cable. Generally only available in metropolitan areas. Can be faster than ADSL2+ but may be more expensive. Does not require a landline telephone service.
What is 500mb speed in internet connections?
Depends on what your doing. if its just the occasional web page, facebook, twitter and msn then it will be more then enough. But if you plan on watching youtube videos 24/7 id go for something quite a it higher
The dangers of opening an email attachment?
They can spread viruses or other malware.
Do not ever open an attachment from someone you don't know. If you get an attachment from someone you do know, but aren't expecting it, ask them if they sent it.
I had a colleague who APPARENTLY got an email from her mother. It wasn't really from her mother, it was a spoofed address and it infected her computer.
What is faster internet explorer or Mozilla Firefox?
Depends on which speed test you use, and which version of the software is used. In the latest betas, your internet speed will probably cause you to have negligible differences. However, Opera comes built in with things such as Mouse Gestures and Voice Control that helps speed up browsing (it is worth mentioning that Firefox can also gain these features through extensions, even though that will make Firefox consume a slightly larger amount of RAM). Also, Opera betas come with a feature called "Opera Turbo" that compresses web pages through their own servers in order to make loading faster (this is because of a smaller amount of content coming through only one server, not because of an actual speed increase).
In computer terms whats a gateway?

Who is the best cable service provider?
Time Warner Cable without a doubt....here is a website you could check out...:)
www.timewarnercable.com
RCN has much more competitive prices for much better internet service. Currently they have a package that's 20mbp/s and 309 channels with 79 in HD for around 90 bucks. For the same amount of money you get 1.5mbp/s on Time warner. Expect to pay upwards of 130 bucks for worse service if you go with Time Warner Cable. The only catch is if RCN is in your area, since TWC has a strangle-hold on certain cities.

3. They are seen as 'cool' by some people, like a fashion item;
4. They are generally cheaper than buying a computer.
Is a cheap broadband provider reliable?
A great way to find quality broadband service from national chains is to check out Consumer Reports. They accept no advertising so they will be impartial, and they will test the service on a number of key factors.
What is the monthly cost for Sky mobile?

How do you connect to the Internet Backbone?
To get online you need to buy an internet connection. You must plug your internet cable into a router. Then you must have connection to the router, most computers will automatically connect to the internet if the hardware is in place.
What is the difference between Kw and Kv?
The symbol, kV.A (not 'kva'), represents kilovolt amperes, which is the unit of measurement for apparent power -i.e. the product of supply voltage and load current in an a.c. circuit. The symbol, kV (not'kv'), represents kilovolts, which is the unit of measurement for potential difference.
How much does broadband internet cost?
It depends upon the services that you wish to use. Dial up service can be free, but is exceedingly slow. On top of this, it relies upon you having a phone line.
Other internet services are faster, but vary greatly in cost. For example, I have cable internet which gives me 18 mbps download speed and 1 mbps upload speed with a total bandwidth cap of 250 GiB per month, and costs me $40 a month.
A T1 line, however, gives 1.544 mbps and yet can cost several hundred dollars a month! While this may seem like a horrible deal compared to cable internet, the advantage to a T1 line is that the T1 line generally comes with a service level agreement - guaranteeing you access to this bandwidth. These are generally leased out to businesses who need to guarantee that they have this internet access for 99.9% of the month.
A cable operator, on the otherhand, might only guarantee you internet access at the advertised rate 40% of the time.

What is the difference between KVA and KW of a transformer?
Transformer power is given by P=V*I which takes the unit of KVA while that of KW has energy term which is not produced by the transformer.It only steps up or down the voltage.
Answer:
In a pure D.C. circuit, KW = KVA. However, in any A.C. circuit, there is real power {KW} and apparent power {KVA}, due to the voltage and current being out of phase. Power Factor is the ratio of KW to KVA. Transformers are rated in both KVA and PF. Multiplying the transformer KVA rating times the PF will yield KW.
<<>>
A transformer has separate ratings for maximum voltage and maximum current. Multiply the two together and that is called the VA rating, or kVA for larger transformers. So the transformer rating is independent of the power factor of the load.
