Convert bps to KB/s
Bits per second to kilobytes per second. Enter a value to convert, or use the bps to KB/s chart further down the page.
1 bit per second equals 0.000125 kilobytes per second. Going the other way, 1 kilobyte per second = 8,000 bits per second.
Note. Network speeds use decimal SI multiples: 1 Mbps = 1,000,000 bits per second. Because a byte is 8 bits, a 100 Mbps connection downloads at about 12.5 MB/s.
How to convert bps to KB/s
To convert bits per second to kilobytes per second, multiply the bit per second value by 0.000125. You can also divide by 8000 to get the same answer.
kB/s = bit/s × 0.000125
Worked example
Convert 15 bit/s to kilobytes per second:
15 bit/s = 0.001875 kB/s
