thats usually in refference to a wireles routers' speed ... its fair ... it fine for surfing and unless ur doing major downloading of large files u will never notice the cut in speed from a direct hookup .. if u routinely download huge files then it will probably be a limiting factor .. but still fairly fast ...

MBPS- means 'mega byte per second'
In computer terminology 8 bits typically make a byte of data.
1 byte will have series of '0's and '1's to represent a byte of data.
A megabyte is just over one million bytes of data (1,048,576) and is abbreviated as MB/sec. It takes eight megabits to equal one megabyte
54 mbps in broadband communication means that your ISP (Internet Service Provider or the Broadband Company) can support your connection for transferring data exactly "54 * 1048576" bytes per second.
But the actual speed at which you are connected to the ISP at any given time depends upon the connectivity load (number of users being served) at the ISP.
Speed well... its more than enough.... cheers !!!

i agree with Ronney, he saying as follows..............
MBPS- means 'mega bits per second'
54 mbps in broadband communication means that your ISP (Internet Service Provider or the Broadband Company) can support your connection for transferring "54 * 1000000" bits per second. But the actual speed at which you are connected to the ISP at any given time depends upon the connectivity load (number of users being served) at the ISP.

That kind of bandwidth you would typically see in local area networks. Specifically wireless. This is what 802.11G is rated at. Wired ethernet speeds can go up to 1000Mbps, but most only operate at 100Mbps.
DSL operates at 1.5 Mbps download and tyically cap the upload to about 0.128 Mbps
Cable goes up to 6Mbps download and about .384 Mbps upload
It all really depends on the service and usually these bandwidths aren't guaranteed.
Fiber to the home which use fiber optics to transmit data can achieve that bitrate.

Yep, it's fast. 54 mbps means 54 mega (million) bits per second. This would be something on the order of 6 megabytes per second transfer rate.
By comparison, dial-up (with a 56k - kilobits per second) usually connects around 46 to 50 kilobits per second.
DSL can run from 128 to over 6 mbps (for home ADSL - asynchronous DSL). I'm on DSL and run anywhere from a bit over 3 mbps to 7 mbps. Cable usually runs anywhere from 128 to 6 mbps (again, home cable).
Businesses run faster - much faster on upload as they are synchronous (send and receive speeds are the same as opposed to home users. My DSL only runs about 300 kbps - kilo bits per second on upload.
54 mbps is *fast*.
Best regards,
Jim

54 mbps means that there are 54 Megabytes of information being sent to your computer per second. This is very fast and one of the best internet connections you can have.
