I'm guessing you did this on speed test android/iphone app?

If you click the tools tab at the bottom and click the Mbps button all your future results will be displayed as Mbps rather than Kbps.

1024 bits in a kilobit
1024 kilobits in a megabit
1024 megabits in a gigabit and so forth...

So to convert 3335 kilobits to megabits you just divide by 1024 which is 3.26 megabits.

To convert it to bytes rather than bits like the way most download managers show you divide by 8.

Now do Megabits to Megabytes

Another one which seems to confuse non IT employees / geeks

There are 8 bits in a byte, so never say you're getting 8MB per second broadband if you mean Megabits otherwise you are saying something VERY different.
