They still do not use multiples of 1000 for kilo/mega/whatever. No 
network device manufacturer has used anything other than 1024 for 
kilo/mega/giga.

The best you can say is that ISPs use 'meg' when referring to megabit or 
mixing up the use of bit or byte with whatever prefix when referring to 
broadband connections..
