Network Speeds -What is Kbps or Mbps
Kbps: kilobits per second, or 1000 bits per second
Mbps: Megabits per second or 1,000,000 bits per second
BIT: abreviated to a small b (Kbps), unit of measurement in a computer representing a 1 or a 0
BYTE: abbreviated to a capital B (KBps), another unit of measurement in a computer, 8 bits are in a single byte. Other lengths are possible like 16, 32, 64, etc but network communications is based on 8 bit lengths.
Is It Bytes or Bits? The small b in Kbps lets us know the unit of measurement is bits. A capital B would let us know the measurement is in Bytes.

What does Burstable mean?
Maximum capacity without slowing the speed of the transfer. At the burst point, the transfer will slow due to bandwidth limitations. When a cable industry advertises “up to” and “burstable” speeds it typically means at certain times of the day you may see speeds that they are advertising. Typically, if you are using the Internet during peak periods, the download data speeds are much slower.
