Following the software upgrade last Wednesday, the Energis 0845
number is now capable of 33.6

The Energis local numbers are either 28.8 or 33.6 depending on
whether you connect to a USR terminated line or and Ascend one.

Only the COLT number is currently supported at 33.6 Until the
software upgrade is proven and we are confident that we will not
need to back it out again the Energis 0845 number is capable of
33.6 but not supported at that speed. This is why we have made no
announcement.
