About Data Transfer Rate Conversion
85 Kilobytes/second equals 680 Kilobits/second. The conversion rate is 1 KB/s = 8 Kbps. You can switch to any other unit of this category above and see the result instantly.
This converter supports 8 units in total, including Bits/second, Kilobits/second, Megabits/second, Gigabits/second, and covers metric, imperial and Chinese traditional systems.
Data transfer rate is the most intuitive indicator of network bandwidth and download speed. When applying for broadband, the "gigabit" mentioned means 1000 Mbps (megabits per second), while your download progress shows MB/s (megabytes per second).
All values follow internationally accepted definitions and are rounded to the decimals you choose. The calculation runs entirely in your browser, so nothing is uploaded or stored on a server.
History & Background
From early dial-up (calculated in bps) to today's all-optical networks, transfer rates have experienced a massive leap. Interestingly, network engineers and hardware engineers used different naming conventions (bit vs. Byte).
Conversion Details
Note: network bandwidth uses bits, while file size uses bytes — 1 byte = 8 bits.
Common conversions: 1 Byte/s = 8 bps, 1 MB/s = 8 Mbps.
