*IMPORTANT! In accordance with the ITU-T standard for 56K transmissions, this modem is capable of 56 Kbps downloads.

However, due to FCC rules which restrict power output of the service providers’ modems, current download speeds are limited

to 53 Kbps. Actual speeds may vary depending on line conditions and other factors. Uploads from users to server equipment

travel at speeds up to 31.2 Kbps. An analog phone line compatible with the ITU-T 56K standard or x2 technology, and an Internet

provider or corporate host site compatible with the ITU-T 56K standard or x2 technology are necessary for these high-speed

downloads.
