Swimmer Posted August 11, 2005 CID Share Posted August 11, 2005 the difference is between (kB) kilobytes and (Kb) kilobits.. you connection is in Kilobits... but you download in bytes... very confusing but that is how they do it..

Guest kamil234 Posted August 11, 2005 CID Share Posted August 11, 2005 basically connection is measured in kilobits, kiloBytes are how fast you can download something, i believe a 8 kilobits = 1 kilobyte Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/6787-difference-between-conection-speed-and-download-speed/#findComment-69760 Share on other sites More sharing options...
