Sometimes you feel you have being cheated when the your internet provider claimes that he gives you 3Mbps but all you can get highest is 384KBps. The real truth is you have'nt beeing cheated.
What your service provider advertise is in Mega bits
per second(Mbps) or kilobits per sec
(kbps), but what you see is in
mega bytes (MBps) /kilo bytes (KBps) per
second. The difference between byte and bit is, there are 8 bits in 1 byte.
So if your service provider claims to give you a speed of 1Mbp
s, you should get a download
speed of 1024/8=128KBps. And if your service provider gives you a speed of 3Mbps, you should get a speed of (3*1024)/8=384KBps.
The difference is just the unit.
So you are getting almost the
same speed as you should be getting or the one your network provider promised you.
