These speeds will vary, and are often less than the maximum data rate. Upload and download speeds are affected by several factors including, but not limited to: the capacity of and the services offered by your cable operator or broadband service provider, channel capacity, network traffic, computer equipment, type of server, number of connections to server, and availability of Internet router(s).
