Shitaprajna, Will a 33.6K modem give better throughput if a better quality line is used or is it that - our Indian phone lines are good enough and so there can be no improvement in throughput by using better lines. Other than providing banks of 56.6 K modems for users to dial into is there any other way by which the speeds can be improved when we surf the net?
