- Here are some noise figures taken from the ATT Tech Journal, May-June 1984:
- Central Office C-Message Weighted Metallic Noise (dbrnC):
-
- Urban 10
- Suburban 17
- Rural 19
- Bell System 15
-
- Here I converted these numbers into the maximum possible data rates assuming
- the modem transmits at -9 db and the maximum legal loss allowed on phone lines
- that is 16 db, so receiving at -25 db. Data rates are in bps:
-
- Urban 30488
- Suburban 26940
- Rural 26011
- Bell System 28126
-
- These are 90th percentile figures, so that 90% of callers in the category
- given can expect the data rate given. I assumed 3000 Hz for the bandwidth.
