: Perdón Yaotl, pero tengo que dejar constancia de mi desacuerdo para futuros visitantes. ISDN tiene sigla en español desde hace muchísimos años. ¡Saludos! >http://vlex.com.mx/vid/39519219

una RDSI a 64 kbits/s
Bien. Aclarar que "ISDN" tiene acrónimo en español desde que existe. RDSI = Red Digital de Servicios Integrados.
Y otro detalle que se les escapó a los compañeros: en español será "kbits", en mi opinión.

: De acuerdo con RDSI, pero ISO no admite la forma plural de las unidades.

Hm... Interesante asunto. Lo miraré. Pero "kbit" no es una unidad del SI sino una abreviatura que uno, en principio, puede abreviar como le plazca. Lo miraré cuando tenga un momento. ¡Gracias mil!

: Bueno, sin tener demasiado formada mi opinión, yo diría probablemente kilobits, pero kbit.

: RDSI s correcto pero cuando se habla de Kilobits por segundo creo que lo más acertado es usar la abreviatura kbps, aunque todas las opciones que habéis propuesto serían también válidas: kbit/s, kb/s

Reference:
Plural of units of measurement
ISO 1000-1973: SI units and recommendations for the use of their multiples and of certain other units" states:
"4.5.1 Unit symbols should ... remain unaltered in the plural ..."
So 64 kbit/s is correct, 64 kbits/s is not correct ...
These rules are the same in Spanish and English.

Reference:
kilobits / kbs
Kilobit
A kilobit is a unit of information, abbreviated kb, sometimes also (incorrectly) kbit.
The standard definition is 1 kilobit = 103 bit = 1,000 bit. In the context of storage-memory and address-space sizes, the alternative binary definition of 210 = 1,024 bit is occasionally used (see Binary prefix), although this usage is ambiguous.
Kilobits are commonly used to express digital communication speeds, e.g. a 56 kbit/s PSTN or 512 kbit/s broadband Internet connection. In the context of telecommunication transmission speeds, the decimal definition 1 kilobit = 1,000 bit is used uniformly.

Nos encontramos con un problema de raíz aquí: "kbit" se usa para abreviar de forma unívoca "kilobits". Una abreviatura posible para "kilobits" sería "kb", pero la experiencia demuestra que abreviar así puede ser comprendido por algunas personas como "KB" (kilobytes). Así que sí tiene sentido abreviar como "kbit".
Ahora bien, si --como considero-- "kbit" es una abreviatura y no un símbolo de unidad de medida (como sí es "s" por ejemplo, que es del SI), no contraviene ninguna norma ni recomendación abreviarlo como a uno le parezca mejor o como dicten las convenciones. En mi opinión, "kbits" en plural.
