Stupid Tech Support

[Ercos]

While looking into DSL, I came across a number for a large service provider and called to get details. When the tech support person got up to the speed of the connection, she said:

* Tech Support: "1.54mbit up/down."
* Me: (after some calculations) "Hmmm. That's about 173KB/sec, right?"
* Tech Support: (pause; sound of typing) "No, that's 1.54MB/sec."
* Me: "No, that's the speed in bits per second. I wondered what it was in bytes per second."
* Tech Support: (pause) "No, it's 1.54MB/sec."
* Me: "No, 8 bits equals 1 byte--"
* Tech Support: "No, bits and bytes are the same thing!"
* Me: "Um, that's not true. That's why a 56K modem is a 56kbit modem that usually gets 5 KB/sec transfer rates."
* Tech Support: "Well that's because people take out the dot when they say it. It's actually 5.6kbit or 5.6kbyte. The .6kbyte is just lost in the connection."
