1 Mbit(Mb) = 1024 kbit (megabit)-internet speed
1 MB = 1000 KB (megabyte)-computer data

1 kbit = 1024 bit/s
1 mbit = 1024 kbit/s
2 mbit = 2048 kbit/s
4 mbit = 4096 kbit/s
10 mbit = 1,2 MB/s
1 gbit = 1024 mbit/s

1mb = 1024 KB

No, 1MB = 1000 KB, most of ppl have this wrong
I had adsl and adsl2 and on boath i have many diferent speeds, doesn't matter what adsl or lan or anything else u have 1 mbit is 1mbit.

I browsed around and well lets say some say its 1 MB is 1000 KB and some that it is 1024 Seems like programs use 1000 instead of 1024 or is it other way around.

kilobyte (derived from the SI prefix kilo-, meaning 1000) is a unit of information or computer storage equal to either 1024 or 1000 bytes

Ever heard of the edit button? Limesqueezer? If you have, try using it.

Actually, most people have it right.

Since computers work in binary...
8 bits = 1 byte
1024 bytes = 1 kilobyte
1024 kilobytes = 1 megabyte
1024 megabytes = 1 gigabyte

Hard drive manufacturers (and apparently standards organisations that don't understand it!) cloud the water by specifying:
1000 bytes = 1 kilobyte
1000 kilobytes = 1 megabyte
1000 megabytes = 1 gigabyte

I get a maximum of 2Mbits/sec downloading p2p (no matter what programs, ports or encryption I use), but get as high as 9Mbits/sec on HTTP, FTP & iTunes, so I'm pretty sure Blueyonder have capped p2p.

2Mbits is plenty for p2p in my book though, so I'm not particularly fussed, especially since you can still use the spare bandwidth for non-p2p.

Blueyonder haven't capped me....and they are truly unlimited. I know some people that use newsservers on 10mbit blueyonder connections and they get 1MB/s DL. I only have 4mbit connection.

im with n*l 10mb n iv seen rates upto 1260kb/s on that
