Help me understand Internet speeds? - RaNdOm - 04-08-2014 09:23 PM
At&t offers different internet speeds, 1.5 Mbps 3 Mbps 6Mbps etc.
What do those download speeds equal in KB/s.

1 MB = 1024 KB
Therefore
1.5 MB = 1536 KB
3 MB = 3072 KB
6 MB = 6144 KB

They have no direct bearing on download speeds. The connection needs a lot of bandwidth just to maintain itself. The more bandwidth you have the more it leaves free for the download. considerign most services can deliver 8 Mbps now, with common bandwidth of 20 Mbps, these are all quite slow. If you get 10 % of the lower bandwidth download speeds you would be lucky. On the higher ones you can get 75 %. But on a busy site their actual upstream speed will slow you down.

1.5MBps=150-175 kb/s download
3 Mbps = 300-350 kb/s download
6Mbps = 600-700 kb/s download
