Actual speeds may vary depending on line conditions and other factors. Uploads from users to server equipment travel at speeds up to 31.2 Kbps. An analog phone line compatible with the V.90 standard or x2ä technology, and an Internet provider or corporate host site compatible with the V.90 standard or x2 technology are necessary for these high-speed downloads.
