    I usually see 4-5 KB/s (that's capital B, for bytes) when downloading
    files. Right now Pppstatus is indicating a "top speed" of 9.7 KB/s, but of
    course that's just the transient maximum when receiving highly compressible
    data such as Web pages. Compressed files, which are what one usually
    downloads, can't be compressed.
