56K is absolute fastest rated speed under ideal conditions. 48K is excellent in real world. I don't know about down under but here in the states we are capped at less than 56K anyway.
When I had dial-up my phone line quality was such that 26.4 was about maximum. I tried about 4 different ISP's, 2 PC's and three modems and 26.4 was about it. Again 48 is good. Chas

When i was in the states I would get 36 at most. Now I get 54 to 56k connections here.... Kind of odd because when they installed my phone line they did a crappy job... They stripped the wire from both end and just knotted them together with there hands....
I guess as long as it works...

28.8 30% and 21.6 10%.

The rate you get from your modem! is decided on by your telephone exchange! some exchanges will give you 56K but some will give you less! if you get any where between 33K and 48K then you are ok! it also depends on wot time of day you go online to!!!! at peak time your rate is going to be lower!!! so look at what time you go online!!!!!!
if you want faster go for ISDN or broadband! but they no possibilities of you getting the maximum with them neither. |
