| Unit | Value |
|---|---|
| Bit per second bit/s | 8,000 |
| Kilobit per second kbit/s | 8 |
| Megabit per second Mbit/s | 0.008 |
| Gigabit per second Gbit/s | 0.000008 |
| Byte per second B/s | 1,000 |
| Kilobyte per second kB/s | 1 |
| Megabyte per second MB/s | 0.001 |
| Mebibyte per second MiB/s | 0.0009536743 |

Formula
Use this relationship for a direct conversion:
2 kB/s = 2,000 B/s.
These are raw rates; protocol overhead, encoding, congestion, and storage performance affect observed transfer time.

Use the formula B/s = kB/s x 1,000. 1 kilobyte per second (kB/s) equals 1,000 byte per second (B/s).
Both unit definitions use exact factors. Only the displayed decimal may be rounded.
