Well, commonly b=bit,B=byte, m=0.001 and M=1000000, but standards in the 
computer world have become a mess, mainly caused by those fake 
journalists/reviewers writing about stuff they don't know anything about 
(rant over).

But let me ask like this: Is anybody able to watch video with acceptable 
quality over 802.11b, and what bitrate setting are you using ? (the 
4mbit setting is in line with what I was thinking, and might be possible 
to use). Thank you for your time.
