Subject: Re: bandwidth
no it is bits per second. The analog rate of these circuits is on the
order of 3000-4000 baud (hertz). One gets a number of bits per hertz using
heavy coding and sometimes compression.
you surely must have meant something other than 100-200 bps (bits per
second) in your second paragraph :-)
maybe 100-200Kb/s? DSL produces anywhere from 128 kbps to 6 Mb/s
(typically asymmetric), and VDSL is potentially capable of 56 Mb/s over
sufficiently short distances

Yes Vinton your're right I meant kbps. oops. Verizon services the area I
live in and 100-200 kbps must be DSL service.
