Internet Connection Speed

Internet connection speed is the data transfer rate measured in megabits per second (Mbps) or kilobits per second (Kbps). It is basically the amount of time it takes for your computer to download an amount of data.

Usually, amount of data is measured in Bytes (KB, MB), whereas connection speed is measured in bits (Kb Mb). Do not confuse with these two measurements. Check out speedguide.net if you want to know more about the conversion.

The connection speed calculation is based on the this formula :

(Amount of Data (MB) * 8.192 bits )
----------------------------------- = Your Connection Speed (Mbps)
 Time to Download (seconds)

1 bytes = 8.192 bits
1 Mega = 1,000 Kilo
