1.54 megabites (aka T1) =????kb

[MikeMike]

I need to know this information quickly right now i am d/l at 2.6k on dial up what speed would that be if i had a full t1? 150.4k or higher? i dont know the conversions

 

[alphatarget1]

1byte=8bits
187.5kbytes/sec

 

[MikeMike]

so that would be like 18.7 mbps?

 

[d33pt]

no..so it would be 1.54mbps

T1 is 1.54 megabits

187.5 KB/s max throughput

 

[StattlichPassat]

I've got a T1- those are the speeds I see.

 

[MikeMike]

DOH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IM A DUMBASS WTH WAS I THINKING

so that is like 1875 in advertising for dsl? am i right?

Just for clarification's sake.. Circuit speeds are generally measured in kiloBITS, not kiloBYTES. So, a T1 is 1544Kb/s. (b=bits, B=bytes), or 1.544 Mb/s.

Figuring out your transfer rate is fairly simple - Divide by ten, and you're good. This factors in all the protocol / circuit overhead that you incur on a network. 1544Kb/s = about 154KB/s. Most browser will show you your downloads speeds in KB/s, so that's the easiest thing to see.

divide by 8 for max throughput, divde by 10 for actual to take in account for TCP/IP overhead and other stuff...

Dang, I always figured a T1 would be faster than my cable connection. I ofter see dl's greater than 300k/s.

Ahh, my pet peeve:

kilobyte = kB
kilobit = kb
megabyte = MB
megabit = Mb

actually m = 1000000 and M = 1024 x 1024

187.5 kbytes = 1000*8= 1.5mbps or /1024*1024=1.43Mbps

T1 is dedicated bandwidth, cable is shared.
Maximun transmission speeds of various connection types.
T1 = 1.544Mbps
Fractional T1 = n X 64Kbps where n equals the number of channels leased.
T3 = 45Mbps
DSL = 1.544-52Mbps depending on type.
Cable = 36Mbps down, 10Mbps up.
SONET (OC's) 51, 155, 622, 1244, 2480, 4976, 9952, 39813 Mbps (depending on OC level).
