The kilobit per second is a the unit bit for data transfer rate. The prefix kilo- (symbol k) is defined in the International System of Units (SI) as a multiplier of 103 (1 thousand), and therefore, 1 kilobit / s = 103bits / s = 1000 bits / s.
The mebibit per second is a multiple of the unit bit for Data Transfer Rate. The prefix mebi (symbol Mi) is defined in the International System of Units (SI) as a multiplier of 220, and therefore 1 mebibit per second = 220 bit per second = 1048576 bit per second. The mebibit per second has the unit symbol Mibit/s.
