According to Wikipedia

> Because of its digital format the [Commodore C2N] Datasette is both more reliable than other data cassette systems and very slow, transferring data at around 50 bytes per second.

That's about 400 baud.

Another page suggests the Spectrum's real speed was about 13604 baud.
