    1 mbps = 1000 kbps, so 300 mbps = 300 000 kbps.

    but remember, a kbps is 1024 BITS, not BYTES. There 8 bits per byte, so if you are trying to actually determine how long it will take to download a file, multiply the file size (in megabytes for instance) by 8 to get the total number of mega-bits, then divide by seconds/minutes etc.
