Connection Speeds and Actual Speeds

Hello Internet Folk,

Recently I have been experimenting with two different connections to the internet. One is a 44kbps line connection and the other is a 115kbps GPRS link.

I have noticed that the former line connection is faster at actually accessing the web and downloading pages and files than the latter GPRS connection. There is not much in it but definately the 44kbps is faster than the 115 kbps.

I am quite familiar with the packet switching principles of GPRS and the circuit switching of my 44kbps connection, but I have little knowledge of the encoding or language of HTML.

Can anyone give me an explanation

Regards

Barney
