Isn a transmission rate of 33.6K kind of slow?
Not really. We have observed that user Internet sessions generally have a Receive/Send data ratio of between 10/1 and 15/1. Our rate of 400/33.6 is 12/1, which is ideal for Internet communications. Additionally, our outgoing data compression is 60%, which more than doubles the transmission rate. This provides extra outgoing capacity for large email attachments and web page uploads.
