But what is the speed of the devices between your ethernet network and
the fibre optic network.  That could be your "weak link".

And I'm running a 28.8 kb/s, which is I assume 2.88 kB/s (bytes) which
is what I assume why your B is capitalized and I don't care about all
that nice neat stuff other than to ensure I get good speed between my
modem and my provider.  I may lust after such a high speed connection
but I sure don't got such.
