Not correct..

Kb = 1 kilobit
KB = 1 Kilobyte

All of your above examples are out by a factor of 8.. terrabit instead of terrabyte etc..

kbps or kb/s is Kilobit per second.. Thers 8 bits to a byte..

KBps or KB/s is obviously 8 times faster than kb.. online accounts are 99% of the time rated in kilobit megabit etc.. sounds like more than it is.. 1 megabit is only 128KB

So if Nicke had 25 - 50 kbps thats slow but if it was KB/s it would be 200 - 400 kbps which is a big difference (but still slow)..
