KiloBits
A kilobit is 1,024 bits, used primarily for measuring the speed of data transmission. It’s often seen in the context of internet bandwidth, where higher kilobit rates mean faster data transfer. It’s a smaller unit compared to bytes, but it's crucial for evaluating the performance of network connections and streaming speeds.
GigaBits
A gigabit is 1,000 megabits, or one billion bits. Gigabits are often used to describe network speeds and data transfer capabilities, especially in high-speed connections like Gigabit Ethernet or fiber-optic internet. A higher number of gigabits per second signifies faster data transfer, which is crucial for streaming, gaming, and downloading large files.
