In less formal contexts the abbreviations b/s or bps are often used, though this risks confusion with "bytes per second" (B/s).
Even less formally, it is common to drop the "per second", and simply refer to "a 128 kilobit audio stream" or "a 100 megabit network".
There are typically eight bits in a byte (octet), but communications data rates are almost never expressed in bytes per second, with the notable exceptions of disk and memory I/O transfer rates.

 Bitrate   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
In digital multimedia, bitrate is the number of bits used per unit of time to represent a continuous medium such as audio or video.
It is quantified using the bit per second (bit/s) unit or some derivative such as Mbit/s.
In less formal contexts the abbreviations "b/s" or "bps" are often used, though this risks confusion with "bytes per second" ("B/s", "Bps").

 Kibi - The real meaning from Timesharetalk wikipedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
What units are being used, and whether the multipliers are decimal or binary, depends on context and cannot be determined by the units alone.
The second edition defined them only up to exbi-, but in 2005, the third edition of the standard added prefixes zebi- and yobi-, thus matching all standard SI prefixes with their binary counterparts.
Measurements of most types of electronic memory such as RAM and ROM and Flash (large scale disk-like flash is sometimes an exception) are given in binary units, as they are made in power-of-two sizes.

 Bitrate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
) is the number of bits that are conveyed or processed per unit of time.
While often referred to as "speed", bitrate does not measure distance/time but quantity/time, and thus should be distinguished from the "propagation speed" (which depends on the transmission medium and has the usual physical meaning).
In digital multimedia, bitrate represents the amount of information, or detail, that is stored per unit of time of a recording.

 The Ultimate Binary prefix - American History Information Guide and Reference   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Measurements of electronic memory such as RAM and ROM are given in binary units, because the physical structure of the device makes it naturally come in sizes that are powers of two.
It arose because nothing about the physical structure of the disk drives makes power-of-two capacities natural: the number of platters, tracks and sectors per track are all continuously variable (though the size of an individual sector is half a binary kilobyte).
Modern-day PC users, of course, regard both RAM and disk as kinds of storage and expect their capacities to be measured in the same way.

 Definitions of the SI units: The binary prefixes
In December 1998 the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), the leading international organization for worldwide standardization in electrotechnology, approved as an IEC International Standard names and symbols for prefixes for binary multiples for use in the fields of data processing and data transmission.
It is suggested that in English, the first syllable of the name of the binary-multiple prefix should be pronounced in the same way as the first syllable of the name of the corresponding SI prefix, and that the second syllable should be pronounced as "bee."
Subsequently the contents of this Amendment were incorportated in the second edition of IEC 60027-2, which has a publication date of 2000-11 (the first edition was published in 1972).

If I take a CD that is 44,100 bits per second, with 16 bit sound and 2 channels then that comes to just over 1378 kbps (correct me if I'm wrong).
A few years ago, some industrials decided to change it mainly for marketting/commercial justifications: hard drive manufacturers want you to think that 1GB is 1 000 000 000 bytes instead of 1 073 741 824 bytes, and Microsoft wants you to think that 1kbit is 1024bits.
To correct this the Kibi, mebi, gibi, tebi, pebi, and exbi were made a standard in 1998, to represent the binary versions.

IIRC, your DSL speed is measured in kiloBITS per second, whereas data transfer speed is measured in kiloBYTES per second.
There is 8 bits in a byte, so to convert kilobits per sec to kilobytes per sec, you just divide by 8.
300kbps / 8 = 37.5 KB per second.

This was done to make conversions between degrees and minutes and seconds exact, since the conversion between radians and degrees involves the use of the irrational number PI.

So a 1 GHz processor performs 1,000,000,000 clock ticks per second, a 128 kbit/s MP3 course consumes 128,000 tittles (16 kB, 15.625 KiB) per second, 'n a 1 Mbit/s Internet juncture can transfer 1,000,000 tittles (125 kB, approx 122 KiB) per dibs (assuming an 8-bit byte, 'n no overhead).

This is a list of device bandwidths: the channel capacity (or, more informally, bandwidth) of some computer devices employing methods of data transport is listed by bit/s, kilobit/s (kbit/s), megabit/s (Mbit/s), or gigabit/s (Gbit/s) as appropriate and also MB/s or megabytes per second.
DOCSIS 3.0 specifications are currently in development at CableLabs and will include a number of enhancements, most notably, channel bonding and support for IPv6.
Channel bonding provides cable operators with a flexible way to increase upstream and downstream throughput to customers, with data rates in the hundreds of megabits and potentially gigabits per second.

I am curious what the state change rate is (how fast it can be changed from a 1 to a 0) and if I can change any of the bit storage locations on the device simoultaneously or one at a time...
The rate is important, for instance memory can chage 100*10^9 bits per second (theoretically) for PC100 RAM (100 MHz).
Hard disks can change 66*10^9 bits per second (ATA66), but only the bit the hard disk head is over at that time.

Let’s compare the sample rate of a CD which plays at 1411 KBPS (Kibibit per second), now compare that to the sample rate of a MP3.
The MP3 sound can be compress to 256 KBPS or 128 KBPS, most legal downloads sites offer just the 128 KBPS rate and that’s not even 10% of a regular CD.
