I actually had both a V.90 and V.92 external modem. V.90 was limited to 33.6k upload, and rarely exceeded 50k in download. The side sending at "up to 56k" needed to have a digital connection to the telco (in theory ISDN, but ISPs would have trunk lines usually). I'm not sure I knew this at the time (if I did, I had forgotten it by now), but V.92 actually did allow sending at up to 48kbits from an analog line. This was usually not used because it would lower the rate coming from the other direction, and l̶e̶e̶c̶h̶e̶r̶s̶ ̶g̶o̶t̶t̶a̶ ̶l̶e̶e̶c̶h̶ most people cared more about downstream. |
