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

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

Thanks allied3, I guess I don't max out my connection......Shitty. I bet I would If I was a member of FTN......LOL

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, 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.
