V90 Modems allow 56 Kbps which is 7KBps
bps = bits per sec
Bps = bytes per sec
The browser usually displays speed in bytes per sec which is about 2-5 KBps
usually
Actual download speed is not a constant and varies with the no of users logged
in. So it cant be mentioned.
Acually some sort of statistical quantity should be mentioned.
