Internet Leased Line port speed


Recommended Posts

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)

That's what I wanted to clarify. The ISP only says that it is 64Kbps, now tell me is it Kbytes or bits ???

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

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 ????

They are called channels.

All users will share those 64kbps.
