	The 57.6 and 115.2kbps that you and your friend are seeing
have absolutely nothing to do with connect speed.  That's the DTE
rate, which is the speed that your modem and your computer are talking
to each other.  It is set through software.

	If your provider has a decent upstream connection you should
notice an improvement in performance when downloading from at least
some sites.  Of course, many providers don't have a decent upstream
connection.
