About the units
- Kilobyte per second
- Equal to 1000 bytes per second (decimal kilobyte), which is exactly 8000 bits per second.
- Kibibyte per second
- Equal to 1024 bytes per second (a binary unit), which is exactly 8192 bits per second.
Limits and caveats
- Results are rounded for display and computed with the browser's floating point precision (about 15 significant digits).
- Both unit factors are exact by their official definitions.
Questions about this tool
How many kibibytes per second are in one kilobyte per second?
1 kB/s = 0.976563 KiB/s exactly.
How do I convert kilobytes per second to kibibytes per second?
Use KiB/s = kB/s × 0.9765625. For example, 25 kB/s = 24.4141 KiB/s.
How many kilobytes per second are in one kibibyte per second?
1 KiB/s = 1.024 kB/s.
Why is my download slower than my plan speed?
Plans are sold in megabits per second while download tools show megabytes per second, so divide by 8: a 100 Mbps plan tops out at 12.5 MB/s in theory. Network protocol overhead takes a little more.
How long does a 1 GB file take at 100 Mbps?
1 GB is 8000 megabits, and 8000 ÷ 100 = 80 seconds under ideal conditions. Real transfers are usually a little slower.
