Bus topology networks were typicaly 10 Megabit half duplex.
Ring technologies maintained differing speeds. The three most common types are token ring, fiber distributed data interface (fddi) and synchronous optical networking (SONET).
Token Ring was commonly operated at 16 Megabits per second.
There was also a 100 Mbps Token Ring standard that saw little use.
FDDI typicaly operated at 100 Megabits per second.
SONET still operates and can be found at speeds ranging from OC-3 (155 Mbps) to OC192 (9.9 Gigabits per second).

Token ring technology is fairly slow. Only one computer at a time can send information. Once it's sent its info then the next computer gets the token and send. You'd be hard pressed to find anyplace that still uses it. I work in the IT industry with many large corporate customers and none still use it.
