Since the telephone wires can carry high speed data why is it that my 56kbs modem data transmission rates seem to be limited 4 to 7 kbs. Why can we can never approach the 56kbs capacity?
Last not least, even on a very high-performant Internet access, you’d still need to send data to or obtain data from a remote site that can actually handle the same speed. If you traverse half the globe to access, for example, a US site from Europe, you’ll have latencies in the order of (typically) more than 60ms for each data packet to reach the other continent alone.
