Hello World
So guys if you're new to the internet & have recently got a new internet connection & have a noticed a strange thing that,
like you are given a 256 units speed connection, but you got just 25-30 units* downloading speed.
THE REAL DEAL
So the real deal (the actual thing), is that both the units are different. Your company tells you the speed in the units of kilobits per second (kbps) whereas your browser or downloader downloads in the units of kiloBytes (kBps) per second.
Notice difference between capital 'B' & small 'b' in the abbreviated (short) forms.
Note: KiloBytes per second is sometimes (and mostly) also represented as "Kbps" & Kilobits per second as "kbps". Notice small & Capital "k".
THE CONVERSION
So to convert the company's kbps to kBps, simply divide the former by 8, which will give you your average download speed.
For example,
256 kbps = 256/8 kBps = 32 kBps
512kbps = 64 kBps
1 mbps = 1024 kbps = 128 kBps
2 mbps = 2048 kbps = 256 kBps
I hope you liked & learnt from above.

As is the difference between two different cubes different. It's a metaphor for the thing I'm gonna talk about.
