Information on Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line Speed
A typical ADSL connection has a speed between 256 kbps
and 2 Mbps on the downlink, providigng a speed of
64 kbps on the uplink. Much higher speeds may be
available to customers located close to the telephone exchange.
Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line Speed is not the only limitation on the user's speed
of access: internal congestion in the ISP's network or congestion
in the ISP's external network interfaces can also degrade network
speed.
