kilobit

LiteSpeed Plus offers 128 kilobit per second access speed, 5MB of web space, two email addresses, two gigabytes of included throughput per month and unlimited 24x7 technical support.

Data transfer occurred at a slower speed, approximately 56 kilobits, but it didn't lose the IP address, said Mac Jeffery, Globalstar's director of communications.

Today, an estimated 75 percent of Internet audio and video users connect with 28.8 kilobyte per second modems, while the remainder use either high-speed systems or 14.4 kilobit per second modems.

In the stores, the 9.6 kilobit dial-up lines are replaced by PADs (packet assembler, disassembler), computers that merge all communications into one private leased line, allowing each application the full 56 kilobit bandwidth.

In Britain and Scandinavia, where deregulation happened years before the EU deadline, 64 kilobit lines cost an average of just over pounds 300 a month, compared with about pounds 180 in the US.

They worked at speeds of 145 kilobits per second, and it takes 1,000 kilobits to make one megabit, which is what speeds are measured at now.

New Horizons has a download bandwidth of a whopping two kilobits per second.

The data will stream at an average two kilobits (2,000 bits) per second.

Beats was attracted to MOG partly because it encodes song files at 320 kilobits per second - more than iTunes songs, which are encoded at 256 kbps.

Jonathan Haward, chairman of CountyHomesearch, said: "Clients who don't really know their kilobits from their megabits or their ADSL from their wireless connection nevertheless are beginning to ask for speedy broadband connections.
