I think you may need to sort out acronyms. I believe kbps typically
means killobits per second, whereas kb/s typically means kilobytes per
second. There are 8 kilobits in a kilobyte, therefore 170 kb/s = 1360
kbps. Hopefully I am not just talking out my ass and I am remembering
this stuff correctly.
