I have used the Earthlink Mac modem driver for several years and Remote Access always reports 57,600.
I suspect the driver is lying to Remote Access to make the service look better than possible.
A slow connection can be the result of equipment noise on the user side of the telephone service interface (that grey box outside your home). Caller-ID add-on boxes are particularly bothersome. I disconnected my service at the interface and ran a line directly to my Robotics modem. The modem "Phone" jack then connects to the wall. This way my house jacks are fed from the modem and when I'm on-line, the phone circuits in my house are isolated...dead. My connection speed went from 28,800 to 49/50,000. :-)
