Hi,
I am confused about internet speeds and download speeds. I guess (please correct) a 56 KBPs modem allows a maximum inflow(&outflow!) of 56 KiloBits ps of data between 2 computers. But still most(or all?) ISPs in Mumbai offer download speeds(the thing that u see in the browser downloader or a download manager) is only 5KBPs. So when we here about Broadband Internet of 1MBPs or 128 KBPs...what are the actual download speeds? Why dont all the people refer to actual download speed rather than the max transfer speeds while referring to their connection? Please Help! Thanking in advance, Hrushikesh Tilak.
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.
