What Speed at which computer modem can transmit information over phone line?
Maasoom81
Actually, what LewisMiller said is not completely accurate. While dial-up modems are capable of 56Kbps, the traditional phone line is capable of only 53Kbps. Thus, the download speed is actually only a maximum of 53Kbps, often lower due to noise on the lines or other issues. Back in the day when I used dial-up, most often my US Robotics Sportster saw speeds of 33.6Kbps to 48Kbps. Further, upload speed is generally slower than the 53Kbps speed maximum: most frequently, the upload speed is limited to 33.6Kbps, sometimes only 28.8Kbps (depending on the capabilities of the modems at both ends of the dial-up connection).
As for DSL, a standard ADSL service is actually 1.5Mbps, not 112Kbps, and the lowest "fractional DSL" speed I have encountered is 256Kbps. Years ago, there was another service called ISDN that was most often offered in 64Kbps and 128Kbps speeds but it was not widely adopted, especially since cable modems and DSL services started making headway around the same time. It may be of this service that LewisMiller may have been thinking.

∙ 14y agoOver a single phone line the maximum speed is 56 kb a second. This is why there are 56k modems only. DSL lines usually use two phone lines which gives you 112 kb total.

Why do you use modem?
modem means modulator demodulator. it converts digital signal to analog signal. it is use to transmit computer signal (digital signal) over the telephone line to communicate to other computers. modem converts the computer digital signal into frequency (analog signal) so that it can transmit over the telephone line and at the receiving end the modem converts the analog signal back to digital for the receiving computer to understand it.

How do you stop a Lexmark S400 Series from dialing a 1 when faxing from the computer?
DECREASE THE TRANSMISSION SPEED OF THE FAX MODEM The modem of the printer can transmit data at 33,600 bps. This is the maximum speed at which the printer can send and receive faxes. It is not necessary, however, to set the modem to its fastest transmission capability. The speed of the modem of the receiving fax machine must match or be greater than the speed at which you are sending your fax. Otherwise, your fax will not be received. To decrease the transmission speed of the modem: 1 From the printer control panel, navigate to Max Send Speed: > Fax Setup > Dialing and Sending > Max Send Speed 2 Select a sending speed, and then save the setting.
Why is the Answers.com site so slow?
I personally have never had any problems with the speed of Answers. The issue may be the speed at which you are connected to the internet, or the speed that your computer can process the data received. Your computer can only download as fast as your modem or router can deliver the information.
What device changes digital computer data into analog data that can be sent over phone lines?
A modem performs this function. A modem converts digital information to analog information to transmit a signal over phone lines. The process of converting this signal in this manner is modulation. They also convert analog information back to digital information to receive data. This is called demodulation. The name modem is a combination of the words modulator-demodulator.
What does a modem transmit before it sends?
