The point is that a chain is as strong as its weakest link. When you hook up a modem that can, at best, throughput 10Kb/sec, and the connect from PC to that modem is capable of 3Mb/sec, your will still face 10Kb/sec. "Sheesh, is that all the fast bus can do?" No. It is the phone line, the internals of the modem and what not. Same thing with printers. No matter how fast the bus to the printer is, the printer will still need its time to process and produce the page that it receives. My cable modem can do 500Kb/sec and sometimes I download things at 20Kb/sec. Not the modem's fault. It is what is in between the modem and the file I am getting.
