Using kBps instead of kbps is a bit strange.  Bits per second is more
normal in this type of scenario.

This is consistent across gm.  The graphs etc.  They have the added
problem of not even telling you what the units are.

Really, I have a 128Kbps link at home, people have 64/256Kbps ADSL
lines.  Bytes per second does not help at all for people trying to
manage their connections.
