    German internet speeds to normal speeds:
    16k usually means:

    - 2 Megabytes/seconds down
    - 0.3125 MB/s up

    Better grab a pillow and a blanket while you're at it, and maybe some snacks.

    @zvyn In which world is 1 MB = 8 Kb? You mean 16 Mbit = 2 MByte.

    It is traditionally advertised as DSL 16.000 (or ADSL), which really means (up to) 16.000 Kbit (16 Mbit). I guess they did that because bigger number sell better and average Joe would have problems seeing the advantage over 56k (56 Kbit) otherwise. The term 16k is used only informally afaik. With Vectoring the terms VDSL 25/50/100/... have been added, tough e.g 50.000 is used as well.

    @kescherRant oh I just meant to add it to the comment above, but ran over the time limit to edit it. Guess I could've made that more clear..
