Dial up is 56kb; DSL is about 10mbs.

because of the sampling rate (8,000 samples every second) used by the telephone company when converting analog signal to digital, and taking into account the overhead of data transmission (bits and bytes sent with the data that are used to control and define transmissions), the maximum transmission rate that a modem can attain over a regular phone line is about 56,000 bps or 56 kbps. disturbances (noise), bad wiring, lightning, or interference from fluorescent lights, radios, or TVs can cause transmission problems resulting in slower transfers.

DECREASE THE TRANSMISSION SPEED OF THE FAX MODEM The modem of the printer can transmit data at 33,600 bps. This is the maximum speed at which the printer can send and receive faxes. It is not necessary, however, to set the modem to its fastest transmission capability. The speed of the modem of the receiving fax machine must match or be greater than the speed at which you are sending your fax. Otherwise, your fax will not be received. To decrease the transmission speed of the modem: 1 From the printer control panel, navigate to Max Send Speed: > Fax Setup > Dialing and Sending > Max Send Speed 2 Select a sending speed, and then save the setting.
To communicate over a phone line, your computer needs a modem
A modem converts a digital signal into an analog signal. Allowing us to use a phone line as a transmission medium.
Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) is a form of DSL, a data communications technology that enables faster data transmission than a conventional modem can provide. A modem which can do such a job is called an ADSL modem.
