The conventions are a bit grey, but the 'b' usually means bits while 'B' means bytes. Likewise, m = milli and M = mega. So, KB = kilobytes, Kb = kilobits, KB/s = Kilobytes per second, MB/s = megabytes per second, Mb/s = megabits per second. I've seen some real mutilations, eg "mbs" which is nonsense (which by usual conventions would be millibitseconds).
