128 Kbps what is it in bytes/sec

[maalx]

need to know so i can set my UT game up so my friends can play!! ut is set to 20000 bytes/sec and that is way too high

 

[hominid skull]

128Kbps = 128 x 1024( 1k bytes)
. = 131072bps

The value you set is slightly low..

128Kbit/sec is theoretically 16Kbytes/sec, but realistically is 12Kbytes/sec.

 

[BFG10K]

128 / 8 = 16 Kbytes/sec.

thanks for the info, what i am concerned with is that my upstream is 128kbs, and i was wondering what i coud and should set it at so my friends wont be hogging all the upstream
example.
last week my buddies got online on my machine one has 56k and the other cable but the 56k user said that he had so much lag that he could not play but the cable had no problems....i hope u understand what i am trying to say,

that cable is better than dial-up?

 

[shadowfaX]

yes, speedwise.

128Kb/S = 16KB/S

take the Bits and divide it by 8. This will equal your Bytes.
And vice versa for converting bytes to bits. Bytes * 8 = bits

Your UT setting is way to high. Your max upload is 16KB/s and you have it set to 20KB/s. Try setting it to something like 7KB/s, this may help.
Also search the web for a upload uncapper. If you find a good one it will allow you to have a faster upload speed, thus increasing your clients connection speed.

I don't know what Hominid Skull is thinking.

an upload uncapper? huh?

judging by his upload speed (128), i'd imagine that he'd have some flavor of dsl. if that's the case, the upload speed is capped by his provider at the central office through cool little switches and the like. there is no way he can 'uncap' his line unless he upgrades it through his dsl provider.

I've used on on my cable connection. But i'm not sure about DSL. Just a thought though.
