A 56 kilobit modem would be expected to achieve a speed of about 7 kilobytes per second.

So when they say 512 is that 0.5Mb (512k) ?
if it is then what is 80?
about 11 dial up modems.
if you were on the 8Mb that would be about 1168 dial up modems.
they take 1157 dial up modems off you, which makes it just a little bit faster then the olden days dial up modem
