10Mbps (1.13 MB/sec), upload speed up to 1Mbps (125KB/sec).
20Mbps (2.25 MB/sec), upload speed up to 2Mbps (250KB/sec).
30Mbps (3.38 MB/sec), upload speed up to 3Mbps (375KB/sec).
50Mbps (5.63 MB/sec), upload speed up to 5Mbps (625KB/sec).
100Mbps (11.25 MB/sec), upload speed up to 10Mbps (1.25MB/sec).

New Rollout plan start February 2012 to mid 2013

Existing download speed	New download speed	New upload speed
10 Mbps	20 Mbps	2 Mbps
20 Mbps	60 Mbps	6 Mbps
30 Mbps	60 Mbps	6 Mbps
50 Mbps	100 Mbps	10 Mbps
100 Mbps	120 Mbps	12 Mbps

What are typical bandwidth rates?

Maximum download and upload speeds
Speed kbps (kilo bits per second) Translated to: Speed KBps (Kilo Bytes per second)
128kbps = 16KBps
256kbps = 32KBps
288kbps = 36KBps
384kbps = 48KBps
768kbps = 96KBps
832kbps = 104KBps

1000kbps = 125KBps
1500kbps = 187.5KBps
2000kbps = 250KBps
3000kbps = 375KBps
4000kbps = 500KBps
5000kbps = 625KBps
6000kbps = 750KBps
7000kbps = 875KBps
8000kbps = 1000KBps

10000kbps = 1250KBps (1.25 MB/sec)
30000kbps = 3750KBps
50000kbps = 6250KBps
100000kbps = 12500KBps (12.5 MB/sec)

The speeds above are the same factor for Upload as well.

Note: A KiloByte = a KiloBit divided by 8
bps = bits per second - Bps= Bytes per second

Bit's and Byte's Memory Table Chart

Bits are binary digits. A bit can hold the value 0 or 1.
There are 8 bits in a byte, you can represent 256 values ranging from 0 to 255.
With 16 bits, you can represent a range from 0 to 65,535
