Internet speed is measured in bits by service provider.Since most computer files arrange data in group of eight bits.8 bit=1 bytes.For this reason transfer rate shown when files are downloaded is always in bytes.
Bit rate-It is the rate of bits transmitted usually per second.
a 6 kbps internet connection can transfer data at speed of 6000 bits per second (since 1000 bits=1 kilobits)
- bit per second=bps
- kilobit per second=kbps
- megabit per second=mbps
- byte per second=Bps
- kilobyte per second=kBps
- megabyte per second=mBps
Bit rate-It is the rate of bits transmitted usually per second.
- 4 bits called nibble
- 8 bits=1 byte(octet)
- 4 byte=a 32 bit word
- 1000 bits= 1 kilo bit
- 1000 kilobits=1 megabit
a 6 kbps internet connection can transfer data at speed of 6000 bits per second (since 1000 bits=1 kilobits)
