Line 728: *This contradicts somehow [[Bit#Abbreviation and symbol]]: "[[IEEE 1541]] a commonly-quoted relevant standard, specifies "b" to be the unit symbol for bit and "B" to be that for byte.

If I click on my internet connection it tells me I am connected at 54.0 '''Mbps''' and if I download a file it reports the download speeds in the form of '''Kbps'''. All of the literatures that came with my PC and laptop also talk in these terms. So where does kbit/s and Mbit/s come from exactly?
