Re confusion... as said before with reference links to official standards...
These days, formally... "b" bit and "B" byte are well defined context.
"k" is 1000, and "Ki" is 1024, and "K" is nothing at all.
Further, network speeds should not be in binary because that is not the
underlying native decimal accounting of commercial router/switch/isp/etc
network hardware and line speeds which they ultimately are billed
upstream [and bill downstream] by whether represented otherwise or not.
There are also unambiguous locale-free date and time representations.
