What does modem (9600) mean in data transfer?

Modem (9600) represents a data rate of 9,600 bits per second, typical of classic dial-up modems and simple serial links.

How does terabit/second (SI def.) differ from tebibit per second?

Terabit/second (SI def.) equals 10¹² bits per second, while tebibit uses a binary prefix representing 2⁴⁰ bits; this converter uses the SI decimal standard.

Why convert modem (9600) to terabit/second units?

Converting allows understanding of how low historical modem speeds compare to modern ultra-fast network capacities, useful for documentation or engineering contexts.
