(Computer science) the rate at which data is transferred (as by a modem)
1Furthermore, the communication speed was only 50 million bits per second.
2A bit per second instead of a trillion bits per second.
3The relationship between baud and bits per second is complex, and often misused.
4Another is to use characters per second (cps) or bits per second (bps).
5Modem speeds are judged in "bps rate" or bits per second.
6Hence kilobaud or Kbaud, thousands of bits per second.
7The data rate of a computer network connection is normally measured in units of bits per second.
8It actually sends 2400 bits per second.
9Bps Abbreviation for bits per second.
10When to Expect Images The downlink data rate between New Horizons and Earth is just 500 bits per second.
11Within the next several weeks, he says, the ARIES team will have reached about 100 bits per second per hertz.
12The typical phone-line modem on a desktop computer theoretically transfers data at 56,000 bits per second.
13On Wi-Fi networks operating at 54M bits per second, though, you can record a lot of traffic in one-fifth of a second.
14Once, the main Net "backbone" in the U.S. moved data at 56,000 bits per second.
15In early August, download rates almost doubled to 16.2 terra bits per second on the pre-COVID traffic baseline.
16Most subscribers pay US$12.80 per hour (1993) to use CompuServe at 2400 bits per second (bps).
