Broadband Connections and Transferring Files.
Broadband Speeds are Asymmetrical Simply put... It DOWNLOADS from 10 to 20 times faster than it UPLOADS. When you SEND a file to someone, even one attached to an email, you are using the UPLOAD side of your broadband connection. Upload is the SLOW-SIDE of your connection and is TOTALLY controlled by your Internet Service Provider. |
The standard broadband connection usually comes with an upload speed of 384 Kbps.
This allows for an upload speed of approximately 2½ Mb a minute.
A 75 Mb file upload would take 30 min... 150 Mb, an hour to upload.
Some providers will up that to 768 kbps for a small additional fee.
Operating at a 768 kbps or better upload speed, the SIZE of the file that can be sent
in the same period of time would be more than double what the 384 Kbps speed delivers.
