19.2 is a standard speed for the ITU-T V.34 modem telecommunications protocol. If the modem you are trying to reach properly supports the ITU-T V.34 protocol, then it should connect at 19.2. I've never NOT gotten a 19.2 connection to any of several ISP's in the Portland Oregon metropolitan area. YMMV
I have also never had a startup problem with my 280c (with GV modem) in the 6 years I've had it.
