In my experience, 256Kb down service package is good for general Internet surfing, found that a 1.5mb down service package is better for streaming video because there is less buffering.
- 1 mbps = 1000 kbps
- 1.5 mbps = 1500 kbps
A service package that is 1500/384, the 384 is upload speed, is important when uploading files especially.
The Transfer Rate is the time it takes for a web page to load or to download a file, measured in kB/sec or mB/sec. Wireless, Satellite, DSL and Cable is considered broadband. A reasonable transfer rate is an acceptable transfer rate we can live with.
Below is an example:
| Package Speed | Maximum Transfer Rate | A Reasonable Transfer Rate |
| 53.3k (dial-up) | 6.6625 kB/sec | 5 kB/sec |
| 256k (broadband) | 32 kB/sec | 26 kB/sec |
| 1500k (broadband) | 187.5 kB/sec | 135 kB/sec |
