 A
10 kb size message (or document) is not equivalent to a 10kb speed
connection.
Document size 10 kb indicates a size of 10 kilo byte. Connection size 10
kb indicates a speed of 10 kilo bit.
A bit is a zero or a one. There are 8 bits to one byte.
One character is 1 byte (8 bits). Typing a message of 1000 characters
will render a size of 1000 bytes or 1 kilobyte (kb). Sending this
message will require sending 8 x 1000, or 8 kilobits (kb).
If your connection is 2.4 kb per second, the message will require app. 3
sec to transmit.
One thousand characters transmitted over 2.4 kb in three seconds would
require an ideal world however. Instead, all kinds of other information
and commands will be attached to your message, plus it takes additional
time just to connect. To save time and money, try to bundle and send
e-mails in batches.
