The internet speed label appears higher than what you're experiencing. Using Ethernet, your downloads are slower than expected—often only reaching 600kbps instead of the claimed 4+ Mbps. This discrepancy affects your overall performance, making tasks like large file downloads take much longer and limiting your ability to use the PC during the day or even parts of it.

Task manager reports 4.5mbps while your connection speed is 500KBps. Since 1MBps equals 10mbps, the discrepancy arises from using two bytes and bits in calculations.

It is split into groups of 8, not 10. Every bit consists of 8 components, not 10.

It makes sense once you understand the context. Different speed readings can use the same abbreviation because they refer to distinct values or conditions. Thanks for asking!

This applies whether you're moving from bytes to bits. When converting KB/s to Kbps, simply multiply by 8. For example, 553KB/s becomes 4424Kbps, matching the 4.424Mbps reported by Task Manager. Your speed is approximately 4.4 megabits per second or 553 kilobytes per second.

Bits are shown in bits per second (bps), such as Mbps, Kbps, and bytes in B/s or similar units. I don’t understand the reasoning behind this format and why it’s standardized this way—it seems like a design choice rather than a necessity.

Because information is sent as 1 or 0 (on or off), yet the minimum storage capacity is just 1 byte (8 bits)
