All calcualtions are based on accepted theoretical values. Slight descrepancies are to be expected.
In data communications only the Metric definition of a kilobyte (1000 bytes per kilobyte) is correct. The binary definition of a kilobyte (1024 bytes per kilobyte) is used in areas such as data storage (harddisk, memory), but not for expressing bandwidth and throughput.
For example:
A 1 megabyte file will actually take 1.024 seconds to download on a true 8192kbps connection with no overheads.
