Formula
Use this relationship for a direct conversion:
2 kbit/s = 250 B/s.
These are raw rates; protocol overhead, encoding, congestion, and storage performance affect observed transfer time.

Use the formula B/s = kbit/s x 125. 1 kilobit per second (kbit/s) equals 125 byte per second (B/s).
Both unit definitions use exact factors. Only the displayed decimal may be rounded.
