<<< The difference is this time the limit is really reached. In the telephone network the line is digitally encoded with 64 kbit/s. With a clever trick it was possible to make most of this speed available. But you can not squeeze more into the line than the 64 kbit/s that the backbone network is allocating to a single POTS line. I had expected that we had reached the speed limit with 33 kbit/s and was proven wrong one more time. >>> Andreas, You will be proven wrong one more time, if you don't factor in ADSL type of modems etc... But then again. 56 (53k) would probably be the fastest you get, while paying only the regular phone bill. With ADSL, it's the same old telephone lines. You get faster speeds, but at a significantly higher cost. The faster you want it, the more it costs.
