Actually, Chas, in these United States, the FCC disallowed any speed faster than about 52 Kb, IIRC. So it is possible that in other countries they can have faster speeds. BTW, the telco lines CAN handle faster speeds since DSL uses the same lines, it is just a matter of "packaging" the data.
But these are digital as opposed to ordinary modems which are analog!
yes and no
the 56k technology works by combining analog and data signals. the ISP has to have a digital line in, which allows the phone company to accelerate data the ISP is sending you. your upload is still analog, and your phone line is still analog.
