And quite recently they also recovered from a faulty ram module, with a radio link speed that is maybe below the kbit/s now !

> Uplink communications is via S-band (16-bits/sec command rate) while an X-band transmitter provides downlink telemetry at 160 bits/sec normally and 1.4 kbps for playback of high-rate plasma wave data.

The data playbacks were initially transmitted at 7200 bps, but this was dropped to 1400 bps in 2007 (https://voyager.gsfc.nasa.gov/Library/DeepCommo_Chapter3--14... - page 72).

RTT ~46 hours (one-way light time 22:49:59, per https://science.nasa.gov/mission/voyager/where-are-they-now/)

I suspect it’s far lower than that.
