Via a dialup modem, the max is 56 kilobits/sec. Via DSL, the max is somewhere over 1.5 megabits/second, maybe more.
The modem *is* actually an important factor in that it provides error-correction and data compression protocols without which the effective maximum speed would be lower.

if you said 56k you're wrong... by law you can't go higher than 49.9... I know sometimes it says 52, but that isn't fully true... the connection might be at 52 or 56 but it doesn't transfer at that speed.... you can thank the fcc for this... of course you can always get a dedicated connection such as dsl... or you can buy your own connection using t1 or t3

About 56Kb unless you have DSL. Then it varies by distance to phone company & quality of the line.
