The speed at which your can connect to the Internet, usually measured in Kbps. Common connections might be a 56Kbps modem, cable modem, DSL, or T1 line.
The speed to which you are connected to a games server.
Connection speed refers to the speed at which you can receive and send information over a access line. Many factors affect connection speed, such as: Access lines: Telephone lines can provide only limited bandwidth. 56K modems on analog telephone lines connect at rates anywhere between 28 - 56 KBPS (kilobytes per second). In comparison, ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network) lines connect at speeds up to 3 times faster than telephone lines, and DSL connect at speeds up to 10 times faster. Graphics: Web pages that contain numerous graphics require more time to download. Processor speed: Older computers, with slower processors, are unable to match the speed of newer computer models. Demand: The number of people attempting to access the same data as you can slow down your connection speed. At peak times, systems slow down because of the amount of stress placed by fulfilling many data requests.
Tells you how fast your modem is able to communicate with other computers and get information from them. The higher the number, the faster it is.

a term that describes how fast your internet connection is. If you are dialing into the internet (the web) using a phone cord and a modem, your connection is fairly slow. This means that large pictures can take awhile to send to us. If you have DSL or Cable, or are somewhere with high speed access (maybe at an office), the time it takes to send us your digital pictures will be a lot shorter. There are no exact answers to the question "how long will it take" as there are so many variables involved. Our suggestion is to start with small images (set your camera for small file size) and see how long it takes. Close Window
how fast you are connected to the internet.
The connection speed is the speed at which data is transferred during the session. The connection speed can be influenced by such factors as the speed of your modem, the quality of the telephone line from your house to the exchange, the quality of your exchange and the maximum speed of your ISP.
Speed data is transferred between your computer and the central office. Two types of speed are receiving (downloading) and sending (uploading).
