I understand that Kbps means Kilobits per second...SO how do I find the number of kilo bytes per second?
I tried dividing Kbps by 8.
My dial up modem connects to my ISP at 36Kbps. which means that I am getting 36,000 buts per second. Dividing by 8, I have 4,500 bytes per second, which is 4kb/sec.
However I am able to get much higher speeds than this. My compression is only 3%. And I am able to get about 8-10kilobytes per second.
What could have gone wrong in the calculations ?
