Do you just need hard numbers? I imagine from these you could write your
own chart-generating function...
56k = ~4kb/sec = in 10 minutes, ~2.4mb (that's megabytes, not bits)
DSL (256k) = ~20kb/sec = in 10 minutes, ~12.0mb
T1 (1.5mbit/sec both ways) = ~150kb/sec = in 10 minutes, ~90.0mb
This is of course based off real-world experiences, so YMMV. Sorry if this
isn't valuable at all. :)
