Network Speed Units

There is a lot of misunderstanding and confusion among people regarding different speed units  like kbps , Kbps .kb/s etc etc  so in this post will try to cover all of this in a simple and understandable manner
To begin with  :


 First of all, note the capitalization of letters in the words.
Kbps - Kilo Bits per second
Mbps - Mega Bits per second

While KB/s or MB/s is what you see in browsers or download managers. 
This capital B stands for Bytes.
Now, 8 bits = 1 byte. That means your 4 Mbps connection (4 Mega Bits per second) gives you 4/8 = 512 KB/s (512 Kilo BYTES per second
Here is  a quick video by on of the youtubers....
