Connection speed
is the speed at which data is transferred between your location
and the phone company's central office. Your actual speed is usually
lower than maximum connection speed due to numerous factors including
the distance between your location and our central office, the condition
of your phone line or wiring inside your house, computer settings,
and other factors.
Throughput or
download speed is the speed that data is transferred to your computer
from the Internet. This speed is lower than your connection speed
and can be affected by the numerous factors listed above, as well
as network or Internet congestion, or the server and router speeds
for the Web sites you are accessing, among other factors.
