kb/s is kilobyt per second...usually used to show the transfer (download or upload) speed..
for example 23kb/s, means that each second 23 kilobytes is transferred

Looks like we have quite a few folks that don't know that capitalization matters! (And a very few who do.)
KBps is KiloBYTES per second.
Kbps is KiloBITS per second.
A byte is typically comprised of 8 bits -- 10 if you count protocol overhead or 11 with dial-up networking for protocol overhead and control bits. Therefore there's a massive difference between KBps and Kbps.

KiloBits per Second.
It's usually is used to indicate the speed at which you can download data from the Internet.

Kilobytes per second...it is the speed of data transfer for how many bytes of data to be sent or recieved..also 1 kilo is equal to 1024 bytes of data.

A kilobit per second (kbit/s or kbps) is a unit of data transfer rate equal to 1,000 bits per second. It is sometimes used to mean 1,024 bits per second, using the binary meaning of the kilo- prefix, though this is rare and non-standard
