You are on a 56k Modem, but you are Reading it wrong it's saying 56Kbps per second Not 56KB/s to get your true download speed you have to divide it by 8 then take around 5-10% of of that which would give you a speed of 6.3KB/s - 6.5KB/s download speed, in the Uk it's even more than that, we were lucky to Get 4.8Kb/s a lot of people I know were only getting 4.2KB/s
