I know what definition they use, it's 1024000. I used to be on the 1M service, this is what was used. Multiply it by 1.5 and you get the 1536000 that is currently in use. The new tiers will use 1024000, 2048000 and 3072000 (the uploads will be 100000, 200000 & 300000).

FYI: I use 8.25 as my figure for bits/sec to Bytes/sec (and then /1024 for K bytes/sec).
