A kilobyte (derived from the SI prefix kilo-, meaning 1,000) is a unit of information or computer storage equal to either 1,000 bytes or 1,024 bytes (210), depending on context.
It can be abbreviated a number of ways: K, KB, Kbyte and kB.
KB vs. Kb
August 24th, 2005 by Bealers
Kilobits per second is usually shortened to Kbps (or kbps). The lowercase b usually stands for bits while the uppercase B stands for bytes.
1 kb/s = 1000 b/s
1 KB/s = 1024 B/s
1 KB/s = 8.192 kb/s
1 kb/s = .1221 KB/s
To find your theoretical download speed for your line, divide your advertised speed by 10, this includes a small overhead:
Dial up:
53.333kbps / 10 = 5.33 KB/s
Adsl:
512 kbps /10 = 51.2 KB/s
So based on the above a 80KB web page will take 80/5.33 seconds (15) and on ADSL 80/51.2 which is 1.56 seconds. This does not take into account poor connectivity, someone else nicking your bandwidth, etc.

No. KB = kilo Bytes. Kb = Kilo Bits. 1 Byte = 8 Bits.

both are same kb means Kilo Byte
1kb=1024 bytes

no pal
1B = 8bits
so kB=1024 Bytes =1024 * 8 bits
and u can do the math

if the K isnt capitalized arent they?
since the first letter is the prefix and the second letter is the unit?
it be kilobites for both one i dont think the capital b makes a difference but im not sure
