It really depends on your line quality. The bandwidth of a typical copper line maxes out 56kbps. But it's never guaranteed to reach that speed due to line quality, noise and etc. The modems are all able to connect to each other by following established standards. The standard set for dial-up modems has a maximum data transfer rate of 56 Kilobits per second. The government limits the power level of the signal, so it actually is less than 56K. Your line quality (distance from the Central Office (CO), line loading coils, environtmental factors, branches off of the main line, etc., all affect the bandwidth that can be transmitted across the lines. The modems will negotiate the fastest speed that they can, depending upon their settings, line quality, and supported protocol (K56Flex, V.90, V.92, etc.) DSL modems use frequencies above the normal bandwidth of dial-up analog modems. DSL modems are capable of speeds up to a few Gigabits per second. Because of the higher bandwidth of DSL, line loading coils and other factors may prevent its use. Many telephone companies have been extending their optical fiber networks out to the neighborhoods, reducing the distance between your home and their equipment. This has made DSL possible in many more areas where it was not possible before. Because of the higher frequencies used by DSL equipment, filters are required for regular analog phone equipment. The filters are put between your telephone, answering machine, or modem and the telephone line. The DSL modem connects directly, without a filter.

What is the speed of the fastest currently available dial up modem?
In the US modem speed is limited to 56K.
A 56K modem gives us the maximum uploading rate of 33.6 Kbps but maximum downloading rate is 56Kbps from an ISP Why is there so much difference in uploading and downloading rate?
Because you isp have slow download speed and fast upload speed.
What is the maximum speed level for the bike?
The speed is limited to how fast you can pedal.
What is the difference between port speed and modem speed?
Port speed is how fast the computer talks to the modem. Modem speed is how fast the modem talks across the phone line to the other modem.
Do you match modem speed with router speed?
The speed of a router is higher than that of a modem. However, the specifications of the modem do determine its speed.
In Properties and Modem Configuration of Connect Using it says my Maximum Speed in bps is 115200 but a dropdown menu gives higher and lower numbers to select what are these for?
115200bps is the maximum speed and i'd leave it there. determines your connection boot speed
What will be the maximum velocity produced while the car moving in the maximum speed?
The maximum velocity produced by a car is the same as its maximum speed. This maximum speed is typically limited by the car's engine power, gearing, and aerodynamics. It is the fastest speed the car can achieve under optimal conditions.
What does the port speed setting for a modem control?
The port speed setting for a modem, controls the speed that the computer communicates with its modem.
How is a modems speed measured?
If we are talking dial up modems that is 56K in today's world. My first system had a 300/ 1200 baud modem that you stuck the telephone receiver into and closed the cover over it. Talking in the room would sometime make the system hang up. Times have changed
Why modem has speed only 56kbps?
It has to do with a few issues, one of which is the SNR and signal clarity that can be acheived by sending tones down a plain old telephone line. There is just not enough bandwidth in a POTS connection to support higher rates of data flow as well.
What is the maximum speed of Chevrolet impala 2017?
Is rev limited at 120 mph.
How do you stop a Lexmark S400 Series from dialing a 1 when faxing from the computer?
DECREASE THE TRANSMISSION SPEED OF THE FAX MODEM The modem of the printer can transmit data at 33,600 bps. This is the maximum speed at which the printer can send and receive faxes. It is not necessary, however, to set the modem to its fastest transmission capability. The speed of the modem of the receiving fax machine must match or be greater than the speed at which you are sending your fax. Otherwise, your fax will not be received. To decrease the transmission speed of the modem: 1 From the printer control panel, navigate to Max Send Speed: > Fax Setup > Dialing and Sending > Max Send Speed 2 Select a sending speed, and then save the setting.
