sunbiz_3000 Posted July 9, 2003 Share Posted July 9, 2003 The internet leased line port charges are according to their Bandwidth. I would like to know, what does a port speed of 64 Kbps or 512 Kbps mean ? Does it mean that I will be able to download at a this speed ie. a song of 2MB will be downloaded in 32 second for a 64 Kbps port speed (assuming the port speed is constant and the server I am downloading from supports the download speed) Is there some other method to calculate the actual download speed on knowing the port speed? On sharing such a port does the speed get distributed? (eg. If I share a 128Kbps port with 20 users, how much time will the 2MB download take for each user) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CubanPete Posted July 9, 2003 Share Posted July 9, 2003 is that kbytes or kbits? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunbiz_3000 Posted July 9, 2003 Author Share Posted July 9, 2003 That's what I wanted to clarify. The ISP only says that it is 64Kbps, now tell me is it Kbytes or bits ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MxxCon Posted July 9, 2003 Share Posted July 9, 2003 it's probably kbits. 64kbit is usual ISDN speed, IE will show that as ~7kilobytes/sec 512kbit is average DSL speed, IE will show that as ~64kilobytes/sec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunbiz_3000 Posted July 10, 2003 Author Share Posted July 10, 2003 What the hell does port speed mean ??? I think it is different from bandwidth. Coz if you check the prices, it is a lot more than the ADSL or ISDN of the same bandwidth. So may be I guess that when you share a leased line the bandwidth each person would recieve is 64Kbps if port speed bought is 64Kbps. Please tell me if I am wrong ????

All users will share those 64kbps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
