About Kilobits per second

Kilobit per second (kbit/s) = 1,000 bit/s (SI). The classic unit for narrowband telecoms: dial-up (V.90) = 56 kbit/s; ISDN BRI = 64-128 kbit/s; G.711 VoIP = 64 kbit/s; Opus (WhatsApp, Discord) = 6-510 kbit/s adaptive; Bluetooth Classic = 1,000 kbit/s; Zigbee/Z-Wave = 20-250 kbit/s. 1 kbit/s = 1,000 bit/s = 125 B/s.

About Megabits per second

Megabit per second (Mbit/s) = 10⁶ bit/s (SI). Standard consumer broadband unit: ADSL2+ up to 24 Mbit/s; VDSL2 up to 100 Mbit/s; Wi-Fi 6 up to 9,608 Mbit/s; Gigabit Ethernet = 1,000 Mbit/s. Streaming: Netflix 1080p = 5 Mbit/s; 4K HDR = 15-25 Mbit/s; 4K Blu-ray up to 128 Mbit/s. ISP 100 Mbit/s ≈ 12.5 MB/s download. 1 Mbit/s = 10⁶ bit/s = 125 KB/s.
