Communications context


2.9
megabits per second
This is how communication devices are rated. Kilo means 1,000 and mega means 1,000,000. Examples of this context include 56k modem, 384/128 DSL, and 10Mbit Ethernet




Storage context


357.6
kilobytes per second
This is how data is measured on your hard drive and how FTP programs measure transfer speeds. Kilo is 1,024 and mega is 1,048,576.




1MB file download


2.9
seconds
The time it would take you to download a 1 megabyte file at this speed.

==========================================


you do realize that none of those sites are EVER accurate?
