If you are new to technology,
being able to compare offers from vendors can be confusing. For
example:
- SWN advertised data speeds are
MINIMUMS
- Most advertised speeds are MAXIMUMS
- SWN data rates are BYTES, many others
are BITS
Example:
- Home User ADSL is 128,000 BITS per
second MAXIMUM
- SWN is 64,000 BYTES per second MINIMUM
- There are 8 bits in a byte, therefore
standard SWN is 512,000 BITS per second (i.e. 64,000 bytes *
8), or a minimum of 4 times faster than Home User ADSL.
