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.
About Kilobytes per second
Kilobyte per second (KB/s) = 1,000 B/s = 8,000 bit/s (SI). Legacy modem throughput: 56 kbit/s dial-up ≈ 7 KB/s; ISDN 128 kbit/s = 16 KB/s. RS-232 at 115,200 baud (8N1) = 11.52 KB/s. CD-ROM 1× = 150 KB/s; 52× = 7,800 KB/s. Bluetooth 2.1 EDR ≈ 300 KB/s; USB 1.1 Full Speed = 1,500 KB/s. 1 KB/s = 1,000 B/s = 8 kbit/s.
