Posted this on SO before Ben Voigt was nice enough to direct me here. Anywho, here is my question:

When I say size I'm talking about bytes not pixels.

I'm curious if there is any consensus on what the maximum size should be for various categories. Specifically:

Broadband connections
Dialup connections
Mobile connections

The first question is how long is too long for the user to wait. Let's use 1.5 seconds, because that's what Google judges as too slow (see this question). So assuming a dialup user gets the maximum 56kbits/second, that's 5.6 kbytes (roughly) so that's 8.4kb. That's pretty small.

Broadband speeds vary, but assuming 1Mb for the sake of argument, that's 150k (1Mbit/second remember).

Mobile varies again. 2G (GPRS) is the same as dialup. EDGE is 236.8 kbit/s so thats 35k.
3G UMTS is 384 kbit/s, so 57k.
