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

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