That does pretty much say it all but since I STILL can't figure it out I come to you with one qustion.

any of the above TB, GB, MB, KB, bytes etc.. etc.. multiplied by an amount of time
equals amount/time e.g. : Kb/sec or b/sec

If Bit to Kb is an 8-1 ratio I don't understand what this means. The one thing I want ot know is this is all about a measure of time/transfer/bandwith. Another way of measuring. Tell me that I am reading into this too much and that it is really that simple.

Thank you again for the info it was well put.
