Hi ,

I have question about download speed.

200k/s , 1.5M/s 11.2M/s?

what this speed is?

when we use windows server download same network , we can get 9.9M/s , is that means total have 9M?or means it is 90M/s?

For local , i use cable modem , about 800k/s download from server is that means 8M? but in oversea download , only have 200 ~ 250k/s is that means i buy 250k or means i buy 2mbps?

so if i buy 2mbps from provider like Data center or reach , is it means 200k/s or 2000k/s?

Thank You.

1 Kilobyte = 8 Kilobits

.:. 100 Kilobytes/sec = 800 kilobits/sec

.:. 1Mbps = 128 Kilobytes/sec

.:. 2Mbps = 256 Kilobytes/sec

.:. 10Mbps = 1.28 Megabytes/sec

.:. 100Mbps = 12.8 Megabytes/sec

theorectically, yes. but real world performance will most likely be less.
