Activity Monitor network throughput - Change to bits per second

Hi All,

Anyone know if it's possible to change Network monitor part of 'Activity Monitor' so it displays 'Bits Per Second' (bps) instead of 'Bytes Per Second' (Bps).

Given everything in the data networking world is measured in bits then this almost seems like a bug :-/

For now I'm running iStat, which displays the network throughput in the format I like.

Thanks in advance.

Steve

No, that can't be changed 😟

For the normal custumor the "kByte" per Second is easier to understand than "kbit" per second.

I second this request for kbps not KB per second.

The normal customer would rarely use Activity Monitor and look at the Network stats.
