This is a short video thats shows you how to calculate your download speed in bytes instead of bits, and tells you the difference.

Have you ever wondered why download speed is measuered in mbps?, or kbps ?

Well, its not megabytes, or kilobytes, its megabits and kilobits.

There is a difference between it. 8 bits = 1 byte.

  • Here's a problem: Network speed: 100Mbit/s, file size: 800Mbyte, upload time: 648 minutes...

  • at around :56 and before that you said that you can transfer 625kbps ... what you just said is that if you bought 5mbps speed your actual speed is 625 kilo bits per second. think you mean 625 kBps for 625 kilo bytes per second.
