 56 kbit/s line - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A 56 kbit/s line is a digital connection (possibly a leased line, possibly switched) capable of carrying 56 kilobits per second (kbit/s), the data rate of a normal single channel digital telephone line in North America.
The figure of 56 kbits/s is derived from its implementation using the same digital infrastructure used since the 1960s for digital telephony in the PSTN, which uses a PCM sampling rate of 8000Hz used with 8-bit sample encoding to encode analogue signals into a digital stream of 64000 bits/s.
With the wide deployment of faster, cheaper, technologies such as ADSL and SDSL, 56 kbits/s lines are generally considered to be an obsolescent technology.

 Broadband Internet access - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In general, any connection to the customer of 256 kbit/s (0.256 Mbit/s) or more is considered broadband Internet.
In Australia the telephone monopoly Telstra artificially limits ADSL speeds to 1.5 Mbit/s downstream and 256 kbit/s upstream.
The FCC definition of broadband is 200 kbit/s (0.2 Mbit/s) in one direction, and advanced broadband is at least 200 kbit/s in both directions.

 Requirements
A 56 kbit/s line could transfer a 20 Mbyte image in approximately 6 minutes, which was felt by the observing community to be adequate.
A 56 kbit/s line was chosen for several reasons.
Although a full T1 channel, operating at 1.536 Mb/s would be ideal, the cost of such a line would be approximately $2,000,000 per year, versus approximately $125,000 per year for the smaller bandwidth.

 Modem - Biocrawler
The last major advance in modem design was the 56 kbit/s standard, introduced in the late 1990s.
This limit is around 33.6 kbit/s (near the Shannon limit), which became possible due more to improvements in the underlying phone system than anything in the technology of the modems themselves.
In all of these cases the high-speed line was set to 9600 bit/s, and the low-speed line to between 75 and 300 bit/s.

Obviously 56 kbit isn't harmful to anyone or anything, so these laws are probably going to be repealed or modified in the next year or so to allow the full bandwidth 56 kbit transmissions.
As old T-1 trunk lines get replaced, the technical reason that makes the 56 kbit modems throw away 1/8 of the data is disappearing.
If the trunk line between you and your destination happens to be new enough, and you have the right modem, you can get the full 64 kbits per second.

 Physical configuration
The voice channels as well as data channels are time multiplexed onto the 56 kbit/s line and separated out at each end.
A dedicated 56 kbit/s data line has been installed between Hilo and Edinburgh.
This will allow use of the remaining 48 kbit/s for data, at a bandwidth of 38.4 kbit/s, with the possibility of adding another voice channel at a later date.

 Cisco - Troubleshooting Serial Line Problems
If the interface is attached to a serial line with a line speed that does not match the default (1536 or 1544 for T1 and 56 for a standard synchronous serial line), use the bandwidth command to specify the correct line speed for this serial line.
If the line protocol comes up when the CSU or DSU is in local loopback mode, this suggests that the problem is occurring on the remote end of the serial connection.
Line build out (LBO) compensates for the loss in decibels based on the distance from the device to the first repeater in the circuit.

As indicated in Table 9, in most OECD Member countries it is possible to obtain a 56 kbit/s or 64 kbit/s leased line at a fixed rate per month with unlimited usage.
In fact, the price quoted for a 56 kbit/s leased line access to the Internet by the Helix Internet, an IAP in British Columbia, was less expensive than a listed 56 kbit/s leased line charge, over two kilometres, from the PTO used in OECD comparisons in the “Communications Outlook” to represent Canada.
In fact the different rates of access via 1.5 Mbit/s lines marketed in North America (12 per cent of respondents) and 2 Mbit/s lines in the rest of the OECD area (4 per cent of respondents), recorded in the survey shown in Table 8, is remarkable.

 1.3 Bandwidth and Speed
An older modem has a bandwidth of 33.6 KBit/s (KBit per second).
But to store an image, each pixel needs one or more Byte depending on the number of colours, for example for images with 256 colours one Byte and for images with true colours (16 million colours) three Byte.
There are different reasons for that: Sometimes, the terminal equipment does not correspond to the possibilities of the line; a very old modem would transfer data only very slowly, even using a good phone line.

 G.722 7 kHz audio coding within 64 kbit/s using sub-band adaptive differential pulse code modulation (SB-ADPCM)
The three basic possible modes of operation which correspond to the bit rates available for audio coding at the input of the decoder are: Mode 1 64 kbit/s mode 2 56 kbit/s and Mode 3 48 kbit/s.
The 64 kbit/s (7 kHz) audio encoder includes a transmit audio part which converts an audio signal to a uniform digital signal which is coded using 14 bits with 16 kHz sampling and a SB-ADPCM encoder which reduces the bit rate to 64 kbit/s.
The audio coding algorithm has been chosen such that, without sending any indication to the encoder, the least significant bit or two least significant bits of the lower sub-band may be used downstream from the 64 kbit/s (7 kHz) audio encoder in order to substitute the auxiliary data channel bits.
