Using Web Templates for Web Design: Tips and Best Practices--Connection Speeds

Design for connection speeds of 56 kilobytes per second (kbps).

Sixty percent of users use a 56 kbps connection speed or slower. The remaining users have faster connection speeds (ISDN, DSL, Cable, T1, etc.). Actual connection speeds are about 38% lower than modem speed capability. This means that users with a 56 kbps connection actually have a connection averaging about 35 kbps. If you have data indicating that most, if not all, of your users have slower or faster connection speeds than 56K, determine what is appropriate.
