Most data transfer rate units step by powers of ten: moving up the scale (bps → Kbps → Mbps → Gbps and beyond) means multiply by 1000, moving down means divide by 1000 — usually just a matter of shifting the decimal point. What's actually being counted underneath is bits: the binary digits, 0s and 1s, that make up every network signal.

What Is Kilobit Per Second (Kbps)? Definition and Uses

A kilobit per second is 1,000 bits per second. Common for dial-up and low-speed connections.

The kilobit per second is a bit-based bandwidth unit measuring data transfer speed, network bandwidth, or throughput capacity. Like the units used to measure file size, it's one of several data measurement units that scale using either decimal multiples of 1,000 (SI) or binary steps of 1,024 (IEC).

Common uses: Dial-up internet, audio streaming, VoIP calls See also: Bytes Per Second to Gigabytes Per Second.

1 Kbps = 1,000 bits per second .

The kilobit per second can be abbreviated as Kbps; for example, 1 kilobit per second can be written as 1 Kbps.

Don't confuse Kbps with KB/s (Kilobyte Per Second) — capitalization matters here. Kbps measures bits, KB/s measures bytes, and since 1 byte = 8 bits, 1 Kbps works out to just 0.125 KB/s using the same numeral.

1 Pbps = 1 × 10¹⁵ bits per second .

The petabit per second can be abbreviated as Pbps; for example, 1 petabit per second can be written as 1 Pbps.

Don't confuse Pbps with PB/s (Petabyte Per Second) — capitalization matters here. Pbps measures bits, PB/s measures bytes, and since 1 byte = 8 bits, 1 Pbps works out to just 0.125 PB/s using the same numeral.
