File Transfer
Times
As technology continues to advance, Internet users have become
increasingly accustomed to fast connection speeds. Although download
times are affected by many variables, the most critical is the
connection speed of both parties. Not all modems, though, are
created equal. Some are fast and some, though once considered
fast, are now very slow. Commonly-used modems range the gamut
from 28.8 kbps analog to the 250 mbps wireless. The following
is a brief comparison of various modems and the respective time
required to download a 10MB file.
Modem / Transfer Rate / 10MB Download
28.8K / 28.8 kbps / 46 minutes
56K / 56 kbps / 24 minutes
ISDN / 128 kbps / 10 minutes
ASDL / 384 kbps / 3.3 minutes
Cable / 600 kbps / 2.1 minutes
T-1 / 1.54 mbps / 50 seconds
Wireless / 250 mbps / .3 seconds
