There are two main options to compare to : Dial-up connection Current Internet access is typically achieved via dial-up voice band modems on your BT phone line. The state of the art is V.90 which can achieve up to 56kbit/s in the downstream direction and 33kbit/s in the upstream direction. Actual speeds achieved are affected by length of access cable, its gauge and the noise environment within it. BTopenworld services will be up to 40 times faster than the speeds achieved with dial up modems. ISDN / BT Highway Connection with ISDN and BT Highway can achieve speeds of up to 128kbps (if both channels are used at the same time). BTopenworld will be up to 16 times faster than ISDN and BT Highway.
