Are MaxTech's the same as the Yokohoma and AmJet?

I have bought the Yokohoma and AmJet.  These two modems are IDENTICAL. 
They have the exact same chips in the same places.  Jumpers are the same;
everything is the same.  They include the same software and the manuals
are identical.  The ONLY difference between the Yokohoma and AmJet is the
picture on the outside of the box.  It's like AmJet and Yokohoma are just
packaging companies.  

In any case, it's a shitty modem.  Both Yokohoma and AmJet gave me the
same problems.  They have the same bug as reported being in the latest
firmware.  I had to return both.  

A salesman recently advised me to get a Zoltrix 28.8, saying that 28.8's
are faster than 33.6's.  He was selling the Zoltrix 28.8 and an AmJet 33.6
for the same price, $108.  

I'm pretty confused at this point.  Aren't there any trully functional
33.6's, besides USR Couriers?  If I can't rely on a Yokohoma, AmJet, or
Sportster, and I can't afford a Courier, what's left?
