- Slow downloading: If you connect to the Internet with a dial-up connection, your modem can only download data at a maximum rate of 56 kilobits per second (Kbps), which is equal to 7 kilobytes (KB) per second. This means that a large file may take several minutes to download (e.g., History of Public Health slides for module 1 may take 8 minutes or more to download with a dial-up connection).
