If we are talking dial up modems that is 56K in today's world. My first system had a 300/ 1200 baud modem that you stuck the telephone receiver into and closed the cover over it. Talking in the room would sometime make the system hang up. Times have changed

A typical modem, keep in mind that a modem and a Network Interface Card are two different things, only has a maximum throughput of 56 kilobits per second.

A modem uses your phone line to access the internet, whereas a NIC uses Ethernet to perform the same action.

What speed is the speed of the modem measured in?

Any sort of transfer of the Internet is measured in bits per second. Generally modems or other devices will round to the highest unit they can. Most devices today can measure their transfer speed in megabits per seconds (Mb/s). Older devices, and even slower devices today are measured in kilobits per second (Kb/s). Another thing to keep in mind these are bits, not bytes, a byte is 8 bits.
