Engineers use data rate rather than speed, but speed seems more meaningful for the less technically inclined; a GSM mobile may offer as low as 9.6 kbps of speed; a Gigabit Ethernet may offer as high as 13.2 Gbps of internet speed.
Mine seesaws and drives me nuts, sometimes it zooms up to 200+kbps then drops down to zero and is basically all over the place.
I use a USB modem and it's hopeless, the network in my area is totally insufficient for people's needs but I don't have a landline and basically put up with it.
It's great in the morning and most of the day, but declines rapidly as night approaches .. if I'm having and one on one chat with someone I end up sitting in fold up chair near my back door
