BPs means Basis Points. A Basis Point is equal to 1/100th of 1%, so 50 Basis Points means 0.5%. It is used to denote a change in a financial instrument and commonly used for calculating changes in interest rates, equity indexes and yield of fixed-income securities.

BPS is an acronym or abbreviation for Bits Per Second and is a measure of data transmission rate, or the amount of Bits (ones or zero's) transmitted in 1 second.

This is normally used to indicate the transmission speed of network traffic or wireless network traffic. In the case of high speed connections the measure is usually Kilobits Per Second (KBS) or Megabits Per Second (MBS).
