14,400
14,400 bits per second was a standard modem speed of the early 1990s.
Where 14,400 fits
Why 14,400 is special
It was fast enough for images to be worth sending, which is part of why the web's graphical form arrived when it did rather than earlier.

1 × 10,000 + 4 × 1,000 + 4 × 100 = 14,400. The signs are simply repeated and added; where they sit on the line is a matter of layout, not value.
Systems that simply cannot reach this value are left out. Where a script needs a font most readers do not have, the reading is given instead of the glyphs — see number systems for each system in full.

14.4 kbps made images worth sending and 28.8 arrived in 1994, immediately before the consumer internet boom. Adoption curves tend to follow bandwidth thresholds rather than predict them.

why?
Strength 0.50, confidence "high".
Technology & computing
At 14.4 kbps a small image takes seconds rather than minutes. The graphical web became tolerable at roughly this speed, which is why Mosaic in 1993 landed when it did.
