"KB and Kb."

Is there a difference to what these mean???

On the Pipex Demo, it lists a 56k modem being able to download a file at '56Kbps' but my ADSL connection shows a readin of downloading a file at '52.6KB/S'.

Is there a difference??? I thought there was, but I'm not sure which means what. Could someone explain to me please?

Er, yes. Correct. It's also the wrong way round... 8 bits is one byte.

Sorry mate, you're well off target there.

One kilobit is less than one kilobyte - it's exactly 1000 bits.
