Do remember that your final throughput can be influenced by many
factors. One that hasn't yet been covered is the type of physical wiring
you have, the age and condition of that wiring, and whether or not it is

It should also be noted that there is latency related to physical
transmission speeds, so if the upload or download does checksums and
verify handshaking, then there will be a delay of the roundtrip at the
speed of light. Now this seems very fast to most folks, but
electronically it is measurable,

Actually not. Even discounting protocol overhead, a 3
