Not every bit sent is part of your file. Data is packaged with "start" and "stop" bits (often 10 bits per 8-bit byte), meaning your actual data rate is usually closer to 80% of the raw line speed .
Noise or interference on the analog phone line often forces the modem to "handshake" at lower speeds, such as 44 Kbps or 48 Kbps.
