"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?

There, bet this reply was worth loading up ;o).

I cant keep up with you in replying to the posts - i have 4 windows open to try to have one loading whilst im replying to another message - its TOO slow....

I want to get Freeola ADSL when it come out.... I really don't like Pipex. They maybe £8 a month cheaper... but I spend the differnece on pills to sure the headache they give me, lol.

I know 2kbps, was horrible. With my college course all those big files on that connection it was so...... BORING.

lol, u poor sod - hopefully we're gonna be gettin ADSl at the end of June. if freeola have it released by early July, we might get that instead of BlueYonder....

My best used to be 2kbps, on a good day on my modem.

lol. im downloading Linux Mandrake 8.2 atm - on a 56.6k modem....
im getting download speeds of about 4.6kbps, and pings on the UK server of as low as 170ms - this is damned good for my connection....

the problem is though that im using Download Accelerator so i can resume it, but the download stops about once every 30 mins, so if i leave it on overnight, it only does about 2%.... :(

Why they don't use MPH, I don't know, lol.
