A cache program...nothing more, really. As far as I can tell, all it does is download whatever's changed in a website from the last time you visited it. It's not really "high speed", it just feels like it.

FCC limits line speeds because of the voltages that would be required to exceed 53 kbs. The pots infrastructure was built for voice, not data, and the telephony equipment that has been in place for decades can't handle voltage levels that would be required to move beyond 53 kps
That is, if I recall correctly.
So then why did they make modems 56k?

Read every single 56k product released. They all say that they are limited to 53k because of FCC regulations.

Ok so why are they not called 53k modems them?

Another part of this is crosstalk. The increased line voltage required for anything above 53k would cause interference with other lines in the bundle. Kind of similar to when your on your phone (non cordless) and hear another conversation.

Technically, ISDN is dial-up too, because you would first have to dial up to the isp number in order to connect. But the dial-up process is way faster than 56k.

How about you learn to use Google

wow that whole thing still does not tell me why they are called 56k modems instead of 53k modems.![]()

It's not what it says... it's what you can download at. Shouldn't show more than 5KBps max.
Also don't forget the TCP overhead.Originally posted by: AgaBooga

Somewhere between 6KB and 7KB is closer to 53k
53k/8 = ~6.5KB
True, but in most cases the line will have some interference.
