Formula
Use this relationship for a direct conversion:
2 bit/s = 0.002 kbit/s.
These are raw rates; protocol overhead, encoding, congestion, and storage performance affect observed transfer time.

Use the formula kbit/s = bit/s x 0.001. 1 bit per second (bit/s) equals 0.001 kilobit per second (kbit/s).
Both unit definitions use exact factors. Only the displayed decimal may be rounded.
