Bits Per Second. Also kbps - kilobits per second = 1000 bps; Mbps - Megabits per second = 1000 kbps or 1,000,000 bps; Gbps - Gigabits per second = 1000 Mbps or 1,000,000,000 bps; etc.

Bits per second. A measure of the number of bits (each bit is either a 1 or a 0) transmitted per second. Bits-per-second, abbreviated bps, is often confused with bytes per second, abbreviated ps. Each byte is comprised of 8 bits. Modern networks operate at speeds which would make bps notation inconvenient, therefore Mbps are often used instead. 10 Mbps equals 10 million bps, and is pronounced "ten mega-bits per second." Dial-up modem speeds are often described in Kbps ("kilo-bits per second"). A 56K modem has a theoretical download speed of about 56 thousand bits per second. Back

Bits Per Second. Basic unit of measure for serial date transmission capacity ; the number of binary digits transmitted over a communications channel in a second. On a classical dial-up line, this speed was 1,200 in the 70s, 4,800 in the 80s. It is now (1995) commonly 14,400 and 28,800 is arriving. With compression techniques (now common in modems and routers), this speed is multiplied by a factor 2 to 3, thus allowing a throughput approaching 10,000 characters per second (or more than 30 million characters per hour).

One gigabit per second (Gbps) is equal to 1,000,000,000 bps. Bytes Per Second. A byte is eight contiguous bits; but a kilobyte is actually 1024 bytes; thus a kilo-BPS is equal to 1024 bytes per second, not 1000 bytes per second, since the computer architecture is based on 2's not 10's in storage and creating characters. Though confusing at first, this is standard terminology in computers directly related to how bits are stored in memory. (See Webster, New World Dictionary of Computer Terms, 1997.)

Bits-per-second. Amount of information data transmitted per second.

Your modem's speed is measured by the number of bits it can transfer in a second. If your modem is rated at 9,600 bps or less, you're behind the times. Modems rated in kilobits per second now rule: 14.4 kbps is the minimum acceptable, and 33.6 kbps is the premium modem speed.

The speed at which data travels from your modem to your service provider and vice-versa, sometimes expressed as kbps (thousands of bits per second). A 28.8 kbps modem can transmit about 28,000 bits of data per second. A 56kbps modem on the other hand may receive at 50-56Kbps but usually transmits at only 33kbps. Incidentally, a character usually takes 10 bits so 56kbps means at best 5,000 characters per second. That's a lot of characters but a very small graphic! Modern ADSL connections usually come in at 2Mbps (2 million bits per second or 200,000 characters per second).
