I have had to do extensive testing of modem connections for a large
company from sites all around the country, and basically connection
speed will depend on line quality, modem compatibility and even your
pstn line supplier i.e mercury energis or BT. there seems to be no hard
and fast rules to ensure 33.6 connect speed. I myself use a novatech
33.6 modem and seem to get a 50/50 rate of 31.2 and 33.6 so just keep
trying.
