• The telephone line between your ISP and your modem must be capable of
supporting a 56K connection and contain only one analogue-to-digital
conversion. The 56K signal from your ISP begins as a digital signal. Somewhere
between the ISP and your modem, there will be a digital-to-analogue signal
conversion so that your modem can receive the data. There must be no more
than one analogue-to-digital signal conversion in the path from your ISP to your
modem. If more than one analogue-to-digital conversion occurs, your connect
speeds will default to V.34 (33.6 Kbps). There may also be impairments on the
local lines between your ISP and your modem. These impairments can prevent
or limit V.90/V.92 connection speeds. All telephone calls are routed differently,
so you should try making your 56K connection several times. One way to test
this is to dial into a long distance location. Long distance lines are often much
clearer than local lines. It is important to note that telephone companies are
constantly upgrading their systems. Lines that do not support 56K today may
support 56K in the near future.
• Your modem must be connecting to a V.90/V.92 server. A pair of 56K modems
will not connect to each other at 56K speeds.
