Speed conversion on Kbps, Mbps, MB/sec and KB/sec:

Example	Speed
56 Kbps Dial-up	56 Kbps
Cable modem	500 Kbps
DSL/Fract. T-1	768 Kbps
T-1	1.544 Mbps

General conversion on Kilobyte and Megabyte:

Example	Size
Floppy Disk	1.44 MB
Memory card	128 MB
CD	650 MB
DVD	4812 MB


	Misconception

In speed calculation 1 Mbps = 1000 Kbps (not 1024 Kbps), it is a common misconception to use 1024 in conversion between kbps and bps. However, if you are calculating storage it is correct to use 1 MB = 1024 KB.

Example 1 (Speed):

If we are calculating speed, KB/sec and MB/sec:
(round 2 digits)

408 KB/sec / 1024 = 0.398 MB/sec = 0.40 MB/sec (WRONG!)
408 KB/sec / 1000 = 0.408 MB/sec = 0.41 MB/sec (CORRECT!)

Example 2 (Storage):

If you are calculating storage such as harddrive space MB and KB:
(round 2 digits)

408 KB / 1024 = 0.398 MB = 0.40 MB (CORRECT!)
408 KB / 1000 = 0.408 MB = 0.41 MB (WRONG!)
