Kilo Bytes per second is a unit of measure used for Download and Upload speeds, and specifies the number of Bytes in multiples of 1024 Bytes that can be transferred within a network or between networks in any given second.

kBps and kBytes/s are both short for Kilo Bytes per second - please note the uppercase 'B' which means Bytes and not bits, and should never be confused with kbps or kbits/s.

To convert from kBytes/s to to kbits/s, multiply the kBytes/s amount by 8, for example 10kBps equals 80kbps.
