Download Speeds - Format Not to be picky or anything, but I just wanted to note this so folks use the correct terms when discussing download speeds, otherwise it can be confusing. Kbps, Mbps refer to bits (my connection speed is currently 10 mbps) KB, MB refer to bytes (my maximum download speed is currently 1.3 MB/sec) There are 8 bits in a byte, so a 10 Mbit connection is equivalent to maximum speeds of 1.3 MB/sec. The correct format I have always seen is bit (b), byes (B). Perhaps this is just an American thing, if so sorry. Just wanted to add this note, I'm sure many webmasters get distressed when people post download speeds accidentally in bit rather than bytes (as this makes their connection 8 times worse!). Take it easy! Sorry for being a n3rd. Bunny Lebowski: I'll suck your cock for a thousand dollars. Brandt: Ah hahahahaha! Wonderful woman. We're all, we're all very fond of her.

While true there are 8 bits in a byte, because of various overhead in tcp/ip data packets, the conversion between mbps and the MB/sec we achieve is much closer to a factor of 10  | |

Sorry Cap'n, just a pet peeve. Just remember when giving download speeds you almost always want to say KB/s or MB/s, not Kbps or Mbps. Bunny Lebowski: I'll suck your cock for a thousand dollars. Brandt: Ah hahahahaha! Wonderful woman. We're all, we're all very fond of her. Very free-spirited. | |

What an accurate and informative thread. Now be prepared to link to it a couple of thousand times in replies to new reviews through the next year and beyond. "I'm not a number, I'm a free man!" Second Grand Order Poobah in the Loyal Order of the Water Buffalo | |
