My vote: spell it out. And don't try to use the
widely-misunderstood "b"/bit "B"/byte convention.

Hi,
We could think to replace
kb/s
by
KBytes/s
or
kbytes/s
Or (and this is the best to use for me)
kbps as "kilo bits per sec"
mbps as "mega bits per sec"
the kb is for bytes or bits ?
the /s is used but it is not scientific ?
So I vote for kbps and mbps instead kb/s for any datarate in
