@John, pls consider this. The internet is carried over a circuit and that circuit is rated in kbps or data transfer rate per second. Same way that the data is carrried over circuits that have a capacity throughput. Therefore, in the case of a dedicated service, the data transfer rates are guaranteed. Can you imagine if you bought an STM-1 from Seacom and then throughputs are much lower? On shared services, what you say is true and applicable and data rates will vary depending on overall traffic usage. me thots..
