Download speed kbps vs mbps

I have some exams coming next week and they asked for internet conectivity of minimum 512 kbps. I did a test and said i have 8.30mbps download and 11.56mbps upload. Does that mean i have 512 kbps or how do i find that out. Thank you

Roughly, 512kbps is 0.5mbps [sometimes the measurements are very slightly different, but not enough to matter in this instance]

That means you have 16 times the minimum required download speed.

Your download / upload test is measured in mega bits/sec. Your requirement is kilo bits/sec.

So you have completely adequate bandwidth capacity. Well more than 10 - 20 times requirement. Mega is 1000 times Kilo.

I hope that helps.
