• What technology do you support?
  95Net now supports both V.90 and X2 compatible modems*.  If you are using a K56Flex modem, you may be able to upgrade your modem to V.90. The 56K technical specification for the V.90 standard was finalized in February and is scheduled to be ratified at the ITU's September 1998 meeting.

• Can I really connect at 56K?
  Well, no not really.  Although today's modems are capable of 56K connect speeds, current FCC regulations limit download speeds to 53K and upload speeds to 33.6K.  The speeds you get will vary depending largely on the condition of your phone line connection.

• Does my phone line support 56K?
  3Com / US Robotics has setup an easy to perform test to check whether or not your line supports 56K.  For detailed instructions on how to perform the test, follow the instructions at the site listed below.

• Can I upgrade my existing 33.6K modem to 56K?
  That depends on your modem.  Visit the manufacturer's web site for information on software and hardware upgrades for your modem. To find your modem manufacturer, simply access your modem settings in your Control Panel or consult your system's documentation. Additional information can be found at 3Com's 56K Central site.

• What connect speeds can I expect?
  Tests by leading magazines have shown that the average connect speed on a 56K line is 44K.  Connect speeds with 95Net will be anywhere between 44K and 53K.
