 its kbits when talking in broadband term of course rarely does anyone talk in kbytes on the internet
50mb=bits in most cases... unless you're referrring to harddrive speed
8mbit per sec
or 896kbit or kbps
like mp3 128kbps
anyone who think 128kbps is 128kb/sec is very confused or just trying to mislead others

@telepac.pt		 128kbps = 128kb/sec
128kbps != 128kB/sec
