dlewis23 Posted January 25, 2007 CID Share Posted January 25, 2007 the 363kbps is your upload bandwidth the 44kb/s is your upload speed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
resopalrabotnick Posted January 25, 2007 CID Share Posted January 25, 2007 i think that needs clarification, no? 363 kbps means you have a bandwidth of 363000 bits per second. 44 kB/s means that you are uploading at 44 kilobytes per second. the 44 kB/s is calculated by dividing the 363000 bps by 8 (one byte is 8 bit) and then by 1024 (since the kilo in kilobytes is actually a misnomer. it is binary 11111111111 which is decimal 1024. that is why one megabyte is 1048576 bytes. it is 1024 times 1024 bytes) if you aren't totally confused yet, let me know. i'll come up with something else.

Ryan314 Posted January 25, 2007 CID Share Posted January 25, 2007 Its both of them. They are both the same thing, just different speed measures. ( I guess you could call them measures ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shug7272 Posted January 25, 2007 CID Share Posted January 25, 2007 Think of it this way, when a ISP states your expected speed they generally talk in Kbps. So if your upload is advertised at 512kbps then you are at about 70% of your advertised speed. Like Ryan said they are both the same speeds just different ways to measure, kinda like MPH and KPH.
