Could someone please tell me what the eq Broadband speed is for 100/mbps

csmager · 11 Mar 2006 at 13:40

It's 100Mbps?

Or do you mean you want it in bytes, not bits? Just divide by 8:

12.5MB/s

Monstermunch · 11 Mar 2006 at 16:04

No, I meant the eq BB speed rating i.e. 512kb, 1mb, 2mb etc.

csmager · 11 Mar 2006 at 16:08

Don't think I follow. 512k = 512kbps, 1Mb = 1Mbps, 2Mb = 2Mbps.

If you have a 1mb line you'll get 100k/sec download speeds (ISH). 512 = 56k/sec ISH and 2mb = 200k etc etc et. Note when they talk about line speed they say MegBIT.

surely 1M /8 is more like 125k (ish) .

People and their maths these days, really.

and 2Mbps is ~245KBps

I was just trying to explain it basically. SORRRRRRRRRRRRY!
