10mbps = 1000KBPS, right?

[Maetryx]

bit is short for "binary digit" by the way.

I always thought (maybe incorrectly) that network was measured in binary metrics, where 2^10 = 1024 which is the basis for multiplying by a "thousand".

8 bits --> 1 byte

then

1024 bytes --> 1 kilobyte
1024 kilobytes --> 1 megabyte
1024 megabytes --> 1 gigabyte
1024 megabytes --> 1 terabyte

10Mb/s=1.25MB/s=1280KB/s

no?

"computer mega"=1024^2
mega elsewhere=10^6

There has got to be at least one person who has read this thread, and is now drooling in a confused stupor.

2^10 = 1024b = 1kb
2^20 = 1048576b = 1024kb = 1Mb

10Mbps = 10,000 Kbps = 10,000,000 bps

Network speeds are all in base 10...

actually, you're thinking 1 Kib = 1024 b

i think there was a thread about this awhile ago

Hell, I'm so doped up on Vicoden was doing that before I got here.

This is correct,

1MB != 1024KB in data communication terms, only when having to do with memory.

If I remember correctly, even this is not always true. It usually is the case, but I'm pretty sure it's not always the case.
But in this case, it is

But anyways, I'm sure you forgot a zero, but 10Mbps = 10,000Kbps
