Is 2600 Kilobytes the same as 2600 Kilobits? (2600 Kilobytes vs 2600 Kilobits)

No, 2600 Kilobytes is not the same as 2600 Kilobits!

When internet service providers talk about data usage, they refer to the amount in terms of bits rather than bytes. For example, a typical download speed from a internet provider is often advertised as 200 megabits per second (abbreviated as "Mb" with a lower case "b").

When talking about storage on your phone or computer, people almost always refer to bytes rather than bits. You'll hear about the iPhone having 128 gigabytes (abbreviated as "GB" with a capital "B"). You'll almost never hear that the iPhone has 1024 gigabits of storage (which is the equivalent to 128GB in gigabits).

The difference between bytes and bits is important so you know exactly how much data or storage you're getting. 2600 Kilobytes is eight times more than 2600 Kilobits!
