| | The fastest single-buffer transmission rate was 1.45 megabits per second, and was achieved using a test case with the following parameters: transfer size 2-5 million bytes data packet size 1438 bytes (maximum size excluding protocol headers). | | | The larger packets take somewhat longer to transmit than do smaller packets (8 milliseconds per 2046 byte packet versus 6 milliseconds per 1500 byte packet), but the lessened per-byte computational overhead increases throughput somewhat. | | | Because of possible software bugs in either the Butterfly Gateway or the BSAT (gateway-to-earth-station interface), 1438-byte packets were fragmented before transmission over the Wideband network, causing packet delay and poor performance. |

| | USB 2: |
| | Typical improvements in speed for USB2 devices (memory devices, scanners etc) attached to an upgraded IYONIX pc, will therefore be variable. | | | Overheads and other limits in the system (and in the USB peripheral attached) mean that the throughput achieved for a given USB device will not be as high as the full 480 Megabits per second. | | | USB2 offers an underlying bit transfer rate of 480 Megabits per second (USB1 runs at 1.2 or 12.0 Megabits per second). |

| | [Cable internet connections only communicates at 10 megabits per second] - Technology Discussion Forums |
| | As per definition of Broadband, you dont need to be at that level. | | | I wanted to kno why Cable internet connections only communicates at 10 megabits per second. | | | I have read many fourms and websites and I have always seen people saying that cable is faster then dsl since it bandwith is at 10-mbit, but the coaxial cables that carry sigals are capable of achieving higher then 10-mbit, so why are you only givin 10mbit |
