About these units
The kilobit per second (kbps) is a metric unit of data transfer rate, equal to 1,000 bits per second.
The bit per second (bps) is a specialist or regional unit of data transfer rate.
Going the other way, 1 bit per second = 0.001 kilobits per second. Internet plans are sold in megabits per second, but download managers report megabytes per second. There are 8 bits in a byte, so a 100 Mbps line tops out around 12.5 MB/s. This converter makes that arithmetic instant.
