Re:Mars to Earth at an average of 29 kbits/s by ck2 on Friday August 10, 2012 @11:19PM (#4369308)
The high gain system they have for curiosity has an upper end of 2Mbps - to the orbiter.

The orbiter can talk to earth at up to 6Mbps depending on how far away we are at that time.

6Mbps at that distance is a staggering feat of engineering.
