Increasing the speed of dial-up to that of cable -- possible?

Hi:

Quotes from http://groups.google.com/group/sci.electronics.basics/msg/0c013cf5371da8dc?hl=en&

Does this mean that Quadrature Modulation and Constellation Modulation
can be used -- at least in theory -- to give dial-up modem connections
around the same fast speeds provided by Broadband cable modems?


Thanks,

Radium

Radium, we know you claim to suffer from aspergers and when you troll
and crosspost to multiple groups you do at least attempt to follow up
with an apoligy, but it dosen't detract from the fact that you're an 
annoying
juvenile fool.

It's called aDSL.  Uses the same phone line as your analog modem.  Go 
search on Wikipedia or Google for info.

Does ADSL also make the sounds associated with the dial-up modem --
i.e. the sounds that result as a computer connects to the net via its
dial-up modem?

OOPS! I forget that those sounds only occur on analog modem. ADSL is
obviously digital.

My question was can Quadrature Modulation and Constellation Modulation
allow analog dial-up modems to have the same speed as cable modems?
Not any kind of DSL, just analog.

Can the analog phone line make use of the above two modulations
schemes to achieve cable-modem speeds at the voiceband frequencies
used by the analog dial-up modem?

NO! just use DSL it's cheaper, better, and faster, why re-invent the wheel.

Dialup is not capable of anything close to cable internet speeds. To make 
matters worse, if you are in an area where DLS or Cable internet is not 
available, the quality of your phone lines is probably not as good as in the 
highly populated areas.

If you want broadband speeds you need a broadband connection.

No, and you're "doing it again", drifting off into crazy
wasteful nonsense. If all they had to do to get broadband
cable speeds was modulate differently, they'd have done it
years ago.  They did actually, but it had a cap too low to
make it marketable vs cable or ADSL.

The answer is no, it can't.  Plain old twisted pair bell
wire cannot retain the analog signal at the sufficiently
high frequencies necessary to come anywhere near ISDN, ADSL,
let alone *cable* broadband speeds.

If you had bothered to do some research you would know this.

I recommmend you do some basic, prerequisite learning of
basic core technologies before trying to bite off more than
you can chew.  The building blocks of education are not
trying to invent some new thing when you don't even know how
the old things worked.

Why use a dial up modem when there is DSL/ADSL that does what you just 
described.

Even worse than the wire (local loop) is the analog bandwidth 
restriction of 4Khz when a dial connection is carried over any Public 
Switched Telephone Network(PSTN) via digital T-carrier equipment within 
a 64K DS-0 channel. (and nearly 100% of calls are carried such today).

The "56K V.90" modem is a "hack" that tries to take advantage of such 
connections.

How do you diagnose them now?  I've had no f*ing end of modem and

You keep the speaker on until it connects and listen to them.

You can listen to them negotiate settings between the two, and tell if
they are going to connect or an ATZ is in order.

Running a 6 line BBS I kept the speakers on - loved to hear a connect.

I don't know the tones after 14.4 - dropped the BBS at that before the
higher speeds.

You can always set ATS10=200 that will keep you connected :) even if
the other modem drops carrier.

Thanks, Pennywise.    Is it common for an ISP to terminate connections,
even if they're active? I'm sometimes online (dialup) for hours, and
when the clock reaches 4 hrs, pfft, connection ended, whether I'm d/ling
or reading.

Granted, I should get a life, but websurfing has been a good substitute.
Problem is, dialup is
    So            Damn        Slowwwwww.

I just noticed that it's a Cnet BBS, this is what I used to run, it's
