To hopelessly continue that story:
1kb = 1024 b if both b stand for byte.
1kb = 1000 b if both b stand for bit (i.e. at least in some parts of the
telecom world). However, then it is mostly written in conjunction with '/s',
i.e. 1kb/s 522Mb/s or 2Gb/s: remember those are not (integer)multiples of
powers of 1024.
