How the conversion works

Multiply the kilobyte per second figure by 8 to get kilobit per second. Every factor on this site is anchored to the SI base unit for data transfer rate, so the same number is used everywhere it appears.

Going the other way, 1 kbit/s = 0.125 kB/s — see kilobit per second to kilobyte per second.
