In my country, the standard connection to private homes is, in any case, two megabits.
By 1982 we shall have 450 route kilometres operating with data rates up to 140 megabits per second.

In education, every school will be provided with broadband by 2006—at least two megabits two-way in each primary school and eight megabits per second in every secondary school.
The typical download speed is between 800 kilobits and 1.4 megabits per second with burst speeds of up to 3.1 megabits per second.
The raw output rate is tens to hundreds of megabits per second, and the whitened rate is a few megabits per second.
It supports 10 megabit and 100 megabit connections on copper, and gigabit connections on fiber.
T-1's maximum data transmission rate is 1.544 megabits per second.
