• Modem speed



    The speed of a modem is measured in units bps (bits per second) or kbps (kilobits per second). The amount varies between 300 bps to 56.6 kbps, but the speed commonly used today ranges from 14.4 to 56.6 kbps. The higher the speed the better course because it will shorten the connection time and saves your telephone costs. The connection speed is also very dependent on the quality of phone lines used. 56.6 kbps modem is usually very rarely can reach peak speeds. Generally, the fastest connection that can be achieved through conventional phone lines are ranging from 45-50 kbps for downstream, depending on the distance from the central line is used (of course, the closer the better), whereas for the upstream maximum of only 33.6 kbps. This is related to the limitations of phone lines that are basically not designed for high-speed data communications.
