Difference between KBPS/Kbps and MBPS/Mbps internet speed

Internet speed which has a KBPS/MBPS indicator is still confusing among internet users, because the sizes are different even though the writing is the same, Simply put, internet speed with the KBPS/MPBS indicator (capital letters) is a general measure that is easy to understand. While those who use lowercase letters are usually more difficult to understand.

Before discussing the differences, here's the internet speed table:

(Kbps – KBPS –mbps – MBPS)

MBPS is Mega Bytes Per Second

Mbps is mega bits per second

Kbps is Kilo bytes per second

KBPS is kilo bits per second

B : Bytes

b : bit

The letters are indeed no different, but the existence of small and large letters certainly has its own meaning in the internet speed table.

The simple formula is in the letter B itself where 1 Byte: 8 bits so that bits are smaller than Bytes.

Here's the difference:

1 MBps = 1024 KB

So if your internet connection is 3 MBPS, then it is equal to 3000 KB if rounded. If your connection is 3 Mbps then equal to 300 KB. From there we can see that the internet speed benchmark varies, but generally they mention the KBPS or MBPS section because it is a speed measure that is easy to understand.
