I guess I should take some of my own advice :P what I *meant* was KBps into Mbps. So if you are downloading at 200KBps then you multiple by 8 to get 1.6Mbps (plus overheads for the pendants) Adam. On 02/01/2007, at 10:11 PM, Stephen Chape wrote: Huh !!! I thought 1012 Kb = 1 Mb So

Thanks for that Adam. I'm no network engineer, and I'm sure your math is spot on. But this is a user group, not a standards forum. I think most of us realise there 1.5Mb, 8Mb and 24Mb (see - I got the caps right this time) speed broadband plans commonly available these days. If I write

Huh !!! I thought 1012 Kb = 1 Mb So wouldn't you have to multiply by approx 1000 ? On 02/01/2007, at 2:04 PM, Adam Hewitt wrote: Firstly your numbers are all kinds of messed up. To change kbps into Mbps you multiply by 8, not 10, and its Mbps not MBps (megabits vs megabytes). I guess you
