Today's time has completely changed from Early 90's .Internet Speed has gone far beyond our expectations .Some say Highest Download speed is in Gbps.But in India ,still home version internet has to grow more :p.Till now i guess highest speed offer by the companies are like 30Mbps. Which is like heaven for the students like me.
I was discussing all this because,we need to understand what ISP is offering and we are getting. Initially you have keep in mind that data is always transferred in bits(b).
Bits are nothing but 1's and 0's.Collection of bits(b) is Bytes (B) and collection of Bytes are MegaBytes etc. So ISP always provides or shows their offers in bits but not Bytes.Because if they started showing their offers in bytes then no will buy those for sure .So before signing or fixing to a offer provided by ISP ,you have to do simple math in mind ,which i will be showing below.
In today's world Our ISP's provide us with different different bandwidths. They say that they are providing
- 1Mbps for Rs 500
- 10Mbps for Rs 1000 etc
Even they are saying that We are providing 1Mbps then why we are getting , only 125KBps??
Have You ever thought of this ?? if No, then todays post is all about that.
In Internet world we have to keep one thing in mind . this ,
b=bits
B=bytes
Here , Size of Data is represented in Bytes (B) &
Speed of Data is represented in bites (b) .
From , all this You might be getting an Idea What ISP's are doing , They are telling us speed in bits per second, not Bytes per second .
also , 1 Byte = 8 bites
It means if they are providing us 1Mbps it means , We will get the download speed as,
Download speed = 1Mb/8
=125kB
Thats why we are getting 125 kB as Download Speed.
Last Words:
The Confusion between bandwidth and download speed clearly explained and relation between bytes and bits tells us why we get download speed much more less than prescribed bandwidth.
