The new November issue Sportster Voice 33.6's appear to connect more
often at 33.6 as opposed to ones made before then.
Getting a 33.6kbps connection is down to you line quality. If you have a
very old line, there is not much chance of 33.6. Another reason could be
other devices on the same line (i.e. extension phones). Get BT to
install a brand new line for you and then make this the dedicated line
for your modem. With a dedicated line for the modem you should get
perfect connects every time at 33.6kbps. I use this method and in about
50 connects I have only had 2 connects at 31,200 - the rest being at
33.6k.
