| When talking about network bandwidth, it is custom to measure in bit-per-second therefore the "bps" notation. If you convert to bytes, it is highly recommended to use "b/s" notation instead, i.e 150MB/s, to avoid confusion. |

| But IIRC the de facto unit for network transmission speeds are bits - not bytes - pr second, and when it’s more the rule than the exception than people write ‘B’ in stead of ‘b’ then the confusion gets even higher.. I would expect this crowd here to not make these mistakes as ofte. :-) B is defacto for storage… |

| The widely-accepted convention is to use bits when discussing line speeds (as the article does). |
