What dose 8000 speed mean for broadband?

Question

What dose 8000 speed mean for broadband?

Answer 1

Speed is usually measure in Megabits Per Second (Mbps, notice the lower case 'b', uppercase = Byte). 1 Byte = 8 bits. You can then convert it into MB

Contrary to popular belief, 1 Kilobyte = 1024 Byte. 1 Megabyte = 1024 KiloByte

These things are in binary, meaning everything is to the base of 2.

That's why you run into numbers like 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512 often. Because they are 2^4, 2^5, 2^6, 2^7, 2^8, 2^9 respectively.

This is also why that 250GB harddrive you bought only show 233GB on your computer.

The manufacturer make a 250,000,000,000Byte harddrive and advertise it as 250GB. But the computer work in binary so

250,000,000,000Byte * (1KB/1024B)* (1MB/1024KB)* (1GB/1024MB) = 232.83GB

Answer 3

Probably 8000 Kilobits ~ 8 Megabits

Answer 4

That means 8000 kbps, which is near a T1 connection. My speed is on 20000 kbps but 8000 is still fast. It would be 8 MB per second.

Answer 5

I'd guess that it means 8000 KBPS (Kilobytes per second), which is the same as 8 MBPS (Megabytes per second). For an Internet connection, that's fast.
