Unit Information

Kilobit (Kb)

Definition

A kilobit (symbol: Kb) is a unit of digital information equal to 1,000 bits. It follows the SI decimal prefix 'kilo', which represents 10^3. It should not be confused with the kibibit (Kib), which is a binary unit equal to 1,024 bits.

Current Use

Kilobits are primarily used to measure low-speed data transfer rates, such as early dial-up modem speeds or low-bitrate audio streams (kbps).

Megabit (Mb)

Definition

A megabit (symbol: Mb) is a unit of digital information equal to 1,000,000 bits. It is 1,000 times larger than a kilobit. It is a decimal multiple of the bit, following the International System of Units (SI).

Current Use

Megabits are the standard unit used for expressing internet connection speeds (Mbps) and network throughput. Most home broadband and 4G/5G speeds are marketed in megabits.
