On the w850's data counter, is the 'B' referring to bits or bytes? The usual notation is

b = bits
B = bytes

I just wanted to know if someone knew if SE used a capital B but were actually referring to BITS as apposed to BYTES.

Many thanks.

I don't know, to be honest, but a simple test would easily determine which: Just download a normal sized mp3 file. The data counter should now have increased its value with about 3 megabytes or 24 megabits.
