If you
have ever experienced the speed of a dial-up connection
to the Internet, you probably think that WWW stands for
"World Wide Wait". With JetBroadband high-speed Internet
you will quickly learn why it is actually called the World
Wide Web as you discover that the world of information is
immediately at
your fingertips.
JetBroadband access vastly outperforms most other common means
of connecting to the Internet and will enable you to
experience the best of what the web has to offer at the
speeds
it is designed to utilize.
Modem
speeds are measured in kilobits per second (Kbps).
To convert to kilobytes per second (KB/sec.), divide by
eight;
note the spelling "bits" vs "bytes". In the table, each
modem
speed is shown along with the theoretical time required to
download a 1 MB file, assuming the full transfer speed was
achieved. Please keep in mind that these speeds are the
theoretical possible speeds. Regardless of your Internet
Service Provider, overhead and other natural inefficiencies
of the Internet (such as web site server lag and general
Internet congestion) often reduce actual performance by 5
percent to 20 percent for
all users.
