How do I convert bits back to kilobits?

Use the reverse converter: 1 bit equals 0.001 kbit.

Is this converter accurate?

Yes. It uses the exact SI/NIST definitions of each unit and shows up to 6 significant digits.

Decimal vs binary: KB, MB and GB use powers of 1,000 (SI), while KiB, MiB and GiB use powers of 1,024. Storage makers use decimal units; many operating systems and memory sizes use binary ones, which is why a "500 GB" drive shows less space.

About the units

Kilobit (kbit): 1,000 bits; used for data transfer rates and older network speeds.
Bit (bit): The smallest unit of digital information, a 0 or 1. Used for network speeds. The term was coined in 1948 by Claude Shannon's colleague John Tukey.
