Within the US, it's $34.95 with shipping and handling.  If you've bought
a USR Sportster 28.8 NON V34+ then you can get the upgrade free if you
bought it within the last month (So I was told by USR).

You get:

The ability to go 33.6 to another V.34+ modem (currently only USRs)

At 28.8 your transfers will go up about another 300cps with another
28.8 modem

With Internet apps, like with AmiTCP or even with EMPLANT,
I get 3-4K/s With peaks of 10K, versus the old V34 at 2.5-3.5K/s
and peaks of 6K.

Since my provider doesn't use USR, I haven't connected anywhere at 33.6
but I've been told by those who have, the speed is even faster.
