12.0-U1 - Interface reports use inconsistent units

[travellingkiwi]

From the graphs... We can see I was doing around 500Mbps yesterday. And on the LHS it states 500Megabits/sec

But on the RHS it's expressed as mb... milli-bits...

The kb is correct... (kilo bits), bit mb is NOT Megabits... It's milli-bits...

Sounds like the kind of thing that warrants a bug report... it's under System | Support

I also feel that MegaBits should be Megabits... Consistency... b = bit, B = Byte (Admittedly I'm a student of the '80's, but my lecturers would mark me down deservedly if I was to capitalise a b for bits)

Probably right, but I think it's coming from coders who commonly use CamelCase for variables in order to avoid spaces, but still delimit words. In this case megabit is already a word, so needs no delineation.
