If I have a 10Mbit connection, then how many kB/s if maxed out

[tweakz]

I have always wanted 2 know this, I hear a lot of people maxing there connection, I just want to be able to do the same. Thanks

[allied3]

10Mbit is 1024kb/s about

[Tristan]

1mbps = 1024 kbps = 1024/8bit = 128Kb
so 10mbps = 128*10 = 1028Kb ~1Mb/s

[StinkyBag]

1250* 10Mbit / 8 = 1250kB/s

[tweakz]

Thanks allied3 (http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/../members/allied3-173383), I guess I don't max out my connection......Shitty. I bet I would If I was a member of FTN......LOL

[ineedaninvite]

yess.. This is something not a lot of people know about>>

ur connection would go exactly 1025KBps (Kilobytes per second)
All u need to do is divide 10Mbps (or 10000Kbps) by 8>>
If you do by 10 u get 1.25 move the decimal 3 times to the right and u get 1025Kbps!~
remember 8 bits in a byte

[allied3]

with 100Mbit i can max at 11.7MB/s
so i guess it should be about
1.17MB/s?

Thanks allied3 (http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/../members/allied3-173383), I guess I don't max out my connection......Shitty. I bet I would If I was a member of ScT......LOL

Fixed. ScT is the fastest in speed. If you want speed, go after ScT. :)

Thanks guys

Bandwidth is often sold in SI units rather than binary units.

10mb/s would then be 10*1000*1000 / 8 = 1250000 = 1250KB/s = 1.25MB/s.
Either measurement will always have 10mb as 1.25MB (10/8), whether you use 1000 or 1024.

[Presto]

I have 12mbit and the max, that I have gotten is 1.2MB/s :|
I guess I should get more, no?

[tweakz]

Hey Presto (http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/../../members/presto-156686), What tracker was that from? If u don't mind me asking.

[StinkyBag]

I got 10/10mbit and get 1250kB/s each way at the same time

[Presto]

I've gotten it on most of the trackers on well-seeded torrents - tl, scc, sct.

[tweakz]

WTF How come I don't get that WTF....is it my ips that sucks?

[Adam1990]

Not alot of people have 10mbit+ connections unless your in some parts of europe or in japan. My net is top of the line in the US with 5mbit.

[tweakz]

Soooo Why do have a 20Mbit speed test posted????????

[ADELA]

its about 3 tb's a mo

[tweakz]

ADELA (http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/../../members/adela-179777) I don't understand a word u said....please knowledge me!

[ADELA]

10 Mbps = 3 tb's a mo

[tweakz]

Naw still don't get ya! Forget It k?

[Kyl3KK]

1250 kB/s

[tweakz]

No matter What I don't get that speed, so congrats 4 ya all....but I have a 10Mbit speed and I'm getting raped...........LOL! oh well fuck my isp! Dumb botty man!!!!!!!!!!!

[fook3d]

If for any reason you ever need anymore calculations, Try this calc;

[tweakz]

Naw 2 much 4 me 2 care....thanks anyways!

[ADELA]

Naw 2 much 4 me 2 care....thanks anyways!


then why make a thread?

[tweakz]

Cause I wanted a simple answer from a simple person............................................................that's why!

[ADELA]

i guess clicking on a link with the answer wasnt simple enough :/

[tweakz]

Noooooooooooo I guess u have more time on ur hands then I dooooooooooo!

[Melvinmeow]

10mbit = 1,250 k as a few people already mentioned.
If you maxed the line 24/7 you can do roughly 3.6TB of transfer a month incoming and outgoing.
5mbit is not top of the line in U.S. Ive seen several companies who offer better speeds than that.
Comcast, Cox, GayOL (AOL), Verizon, being a few of them. There are a few companies in the sticks of nevada that also do up to 50mbit for home users. (No idea why they would need that kinda speeds in the sticks but hey whatever floats your boat.)

Thanks 4 da break down.....Melvinmeow (http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/../../members/melvinmeow-134672)

10Mbps = 10 million bits per second = 10,000,000bps / 8 bits = 1,250,000 bytes per sec / (1024*1024) = 1.19MB/s

[tweakz]

Thanks, but I get It now.

Probably due to the rollout costs and the amount of takeup.
If you spend a fortune laying cable out to hicksville, prices per customer are going to be higher, but there will also be a hell of a lot more capacity on those lines than there would be in say, NY.
If you can sell 50mb/s to someone out there, you don't have so much unused capacity and you can recoup more of your initial costs.

[gamer4eva]

i think 100mbit is 1280KB/s! so /10 to get for 10mbit.

[rvt]

10Mbps = 10 million bits per second = 10,000,000bps / 8 bits = 1,250,000 bytes per sec / (1024*1024) = 1.19MB/s

That calculation converts SI to binary. What you actually have at the end there is 1.19MiB/s (mebibytes or mega binary bytes).
1250000 SI bytes is 1.25 SI MB.

I remote to people's PCs every day at work and I'm so jealous when I see speeds of 2-3MB/s in the states and they pay about the same as me.

I have a 10Mbit connection and I get 1.2MB/s all the time from Newsgroups but damn 2-3MB/s would be just too sweet. To get me a 25Mbit connection through my ISP it would cost me about $101.95/mo
