Your phone line might not support a faster modem.  Having your phone
line checked doesn't mean much because the phone company doesn't test
the phone line to support anything faster than 28.8 (actually, not even
that fast).  Nothing short of attaching a known good 56K modem will
tell you what the maximum speed your phone line will support.

It is possible that your modem is bad (noise generated in the
transducer), and connecting at a lower speed will help you figure out
if your modem is bad or if it's the phone line.

No one gets 56K.  Very few get 50K.  A few get 40K.  No one far from
the phone company gets better than 33.6 (and usually lower).

So you see, most likely you can't go any faster and it's not the fault
of the modem.
