This is hrev48742.
With hrev48660 ActivityMonitor was altered to dynamically change network
speed units. As it is now, I find that confusing, largely because the huge
rounding errors when you get to 1 Mbps. You get Kbps until 999 Kbps, and
then it just displays a rounded 1 Mbps and you don't know if your actual
speed is 1.1 or 1.9 Mbps.
As my actual downlink speed often oscilates between a max of 1.6 Mbps and
below 1 Mbps, the display changes between informative e.g. 637 Kbps and 1
Mbps.
Maybe the Mbps and upwards (do people already get Gbps?) could show a
1/1000 precision, so there's a smooth transition between e.g. 965 Kbps to
1.287 Mbps.
Or maybe there's a better solution...
