Q: I
make a V.90 connection, but it's not as 56K .Why ?
A:
FCC regulation prevents all devices attached to the telephone network from exceeding a
certain power output. As a result, we had to scale back the output, which has a direct
effect on the speed at which we can transfer data. Currently, we have the server modem
limit set to 53333. This does not mean that people will not be able to hit the higher
speeds, it just decreases the likelihood.
Also, there are many factors which can influence the
connection rate and the speed at which you transfer data. Even though one end of the
connection is pure digital, there are things that can hamper an V.90 connection, while not
necessarily preventing it all together. Essentially, the characteristics of the phone line
play an essential role in the speed of the connection.
