V.90/V.92 and K56flex™ technologies allow users to connect to the Internet at rates up to twice as fast as those of V.34 modems. The maximum receive rate is 56Kbps, while the return path connects at up to 48.0 Kbps. This is perfect for Internet connections in which most data is transferred from the Internet to the client computer.
With V.92 technology, users are assured of achieving the highest degree of interoperability with Internet service providers (ISPs), because, following the ITU V.92 Initiative, most ISPs are converting to V.92.
V.92 is the latest, most advanced analog modem technology available today. It provides users with a "broadband-like" Internet experience. V.92 lets you:
Connect faster to your ISP
Send data at faster speeds (up to 48Kbps)
Put your Internet connection on hold while you place or receive a regular phone call. (This requires support from your ISP and call waiting tone service from your telephone company.)

NOTE:
56Kbps rates may not always be achievable, due to adverse line conditions.
When the modem connects to a non-V.90/V.92 head-end:
If the head-end is K56flex™-compliant, the modem connects at K56flex™ rates.
If the head-end is X2™-compliant, the modem connects at V.34 rates.
