This article is awesome! I was on the phone with my ISP today (timewarner), and i quote the rep as referring to the download speed of the service and called them BYTES(MBs), not BITS(Mbps). SO what they are doing is FRAUDULENT. She said i had 20 MBs down, when what she meant and what their commercials show is that i have 20Mbps. So yeah, basically the rep doesnt know whats going on and some one slipped the capital letter game in there. So they may just be lying to the subscriber or they just have no idea that they are promoting.

Article shows the easy way to convert Kbps to KBps is : KBps = Kbps*0.1220703125.

The easy way to convert KBps to Kbps would be : Kbps = KBps*8.192.

I think google multiplies by 1000, then divides by 8, and then divides by 1000 (instead of 1024).
