Data transfer speed conversions.
1 bit per second = 0.001 kilobits per second
Formula: kilobits per second = bits per second × 0.001
Precision: Exact conversion factor.

Data-transfer speed measures how much data moves across a network or bus per unit of time. Internet providers usually quote bits per second; operating systems often show bytes per second.
Plans are quoted in megabits per second. Downloads are often shown in megabytes per second. A 100 Mbps plan gives about 12.5 MB/s maximum, and overhead reduces this further.
Network speeds almost always use decimal: 1 Mbps = 1,000,000 bits per second.
