Decimal kilobytes vs. binary kilobytes: Which one should I use? in IT Support · Feb 25, 2017

My bill shows an internet data usage of 801,203 kB—which leaves me stuck in a bit of a limbo. It feels far too low if we're talking about 800 KB, yet obviously way too high if it's meant to be 800 MB.

Thanks, 🙂

Also, I have no idea why I spent tonight convinced it had to be a whole number :/.

Can someone please clarify what

801,203 kB

means? Is that roughly 801 kB?

If so—how did they end up with a decimal point and where does this extra 0.203 kB come from?

Alternatively, if it’s actually 801,203 KB, why isn't it listed as 801 MB?
