The 56k was limited to 53k by FCC for a technical reason I never understood. It was never anywhere close to that speed due to usual crap telephone lines, and that not every switch was appropriate to the digital link that speed required. ISDN would have been highly reliable and cleaner. I've always wondered if ISDN had been available immediately, whether subscribers could have created their own networks on the fly including hosts added or taken down as necessary, comparable to dialing a telephone number to setting up a voice call.
