AT&T to Provide HSUPA Update to Atrix/Inspire 4G in April
Mbps vs. mbps
MBps = Megabytes per second
Mbps = Megbits per second.
Either way...

I've always understood it as:
MBps = Megabytes per second
Mbps = Megbits per second.
Yes, this is correct. Pickles is wrong. The SI prefix for 10ⶠis "M," which is always uppercase.

i was wrong on the terminology, my point is still the same.
What was your point?

Additionally, a byte is eight bits, not two bits. So, 14.4 megabits per second is 1.8 megabytes per second, not 5.76 megabytes per second.
Please be careful w/ your attempted corrections lest you confuse others.

i didn't bother to do the math i assumed phonescoop was right on their figures. either way both phones run at 14.4 megabits per second according to motorola and htc, so i'm not sure where PS got 5.76 megabytes per second from.
No, you are very confused. You should stop posting "corrections" until you better understand the technology. The Phonescoop article references HSUPA, which is an uplink technology. And HSUPA is theoretically limited to 5.76 Mbps. The 14.4 Mbps figure that you cite is the HSDPA or HSPA+ downlink. Uplink & downlink are not interchangeable, nor are they typically symmetrical.

I wonder why that is? You'd think that information being transmitted using the same method would transmit at the same speeds regardless of which end was transmitting or receiving.
