'k' vs 'Ki'
'k' and 'Ki' stand for 'kilo' and kibi respectively. The hertz (symbol Hz) is a measure of Frequency, informally defined as the number of events occurring per Second. 943 KILO is a radio station sponsored out of Colorado Springs and Pueblo, Colorado. In computing binary prefixes are names or associated symbols that can precede a unit of measure (such as a Byte) to indicate multiplication by a power of two They are prefixes to units where 'k' stands for 1,000 and 'Ki' stands for 1,024, because 'Ki' comes from its use in computing where 210 = 1,024. Unfortunately, 'K' is often incorrectly used instead of 'Ki'. Furthermore, the broad public not being necessarily aware of this subtle difference, usually uses 'Kbps' and 'kbps' indiscriminately, creating confusion. Whenever 'Kibps' is used, it is usually accurate.
'b' vs 'B'
'b' stands for 'bit' and 'B' stands for 'byte', where one byte refers to 8 bits. In Computing, an octet is a grouping of eight Bits Octet, with the only exception noted below always refers to an entity having exactly eight This can lead to confusion, as when a "1 Mega" connection is advertised, it usually means 1 Mibit/s (mebibit per second) or 1. 049 Mbit/s (megabit per second), meaning the maximum achievable download speed is actually about 128 KiB/s (kibibyte per second) or 131 kB/s (kilobyte per second).
Example usage
If the data rate of a data-stream 8,192 bits per second, then using the different capitalization of letters this would be as follows:
8192 / 1000 = 8. 192 kbit/s
8192 / 1024 = 8 Kibit/s
8192 / (8 x 1024) = 1 KiB/s
8192 / (8 x 1000) = 1. 024 kB/s
8192 / 8 = 1024 B/s
Bytes are typically used in modern systems, but even when 8-bit bytes are used, the number of kbyte/s is not necessarily exactly one eighth the number of kbit/s because the count of bytes might not include framing bits. For example, a 56 kbit/s RS-232 serial line transfers only 5. In Telecommunications, RS-232 (Recommended Standard 232 is a standard for serial binary data signals connecting between a DTE ( Data Terminal Equipment 6 kbyte/s — not 7 kbyte/s — when used in the most common configuration (asynchronous, 8 data bits, no parity, one stop bit). Asynchronous serial communication describes an asynchronous, serial transmission protocol in which a start signal is sent prior to each byte character or code word It is fairly common to use kbyte/s with the binary meaning (1,024 byte/s) — more so than for kbit/s — perhaps because of the close relationship with the common binary usage of kilobyte for measuring file sizes. A kilobyte (derived from the SI prefix Kilo -, meaning 1000 is a unit of Information or Computer storage equal to either 1024
Notes about the related unit kibibit per second:
- 103 = 1,000 bit/s = 1 kbit/s (one kilobit or one thousand bits per second)

Usage examples
The bandwidth of consumer broadband internet services is often rated incorrectly in megabits (a unit of information) or more correctly in megabits per second; the formal abbreviation for megabit per second is Mbit/s. In Computer networking and Computer science, digital bandwidth or just bandwidth is the capacity for a given system to transfer data over a connection Broadband Internet access, often shortened to just Broadband, is high-speed Internet access—typically contrasted with dial-up access over a Modem Note that in this context the term bandwidth is used colloquially to mean the data transfer rate.
Data streams representing compressed video are often measured in Mbit/s:
- 2. Video compression refers to reducing the quantity of Data used to represent video images and is a straightforward combination of Image compression and Motion 0 Mbit/s — VHS quality
- 8 Mbit/s — DVD quality

- 2-3 Mbit/s — a low-definition digital channel with a very clean signal
- 5-6 Mbit/s — a low-definition digital channel with a digitized ("dirty") analog signal (or just an analog channel)
- 8-12 Mbit/s — a medium to high-definition digital channel with DVD quality data (equivalent to HBO-HD)
