48Kilobits per second..

5-6 Kilbytes per second...

The higher number is your connection speed, and how fast pages load. Download speeds are always slower.

because you go through a router at the isp that tops out at 10k, the rest is due to quality of phone lines (physical quality)

8bit = 1 byte thus 48kbit = 6kbytes.

Are you guys kidding??
56K(53K max) dial up will never get higher than 5-6kb no matter what.

I doubt it's the router.

more like the ISP has banks of modems which are also 56kb/s.

i doubt their routers top out at 10kb/s
