Calculating modem speed

by pandbm . Updated 23 years ago

Does anyone know how to translate modem speeds. I recently had a 56V.92 internal modem installed which should give me 56 Kbps download and 48 Kbps upload speed.
Modem status showed “Connect 31.5 Kbps” and when downloading the indicator showed between 2.8 Kbps and 1.2 Kbps.
Since then I included the string “AT&FX+MS=V90\G0” in the Extra String Command box. My Connection speed jumped up to 115.6 Kbps and my speed is now 3.92 Kbps average (1,754,674 bytes in 447,109 seconds), yet the log file reports “Reads: 36Kbps” and “Writes: 31.5Kbps”
Am I looking at right figures or is there a special way to calculate these speeds?
