This is a 33.6 modem. Why does the connect speed show only 26.4?
The modem is capable of 33.6 connections. However, line noise and other interference will cause the modem to negotiate a lower speed to maintain a clear signal and allow for error correction. As the signal clears up, the modem will renegotiate a better speed. If the connection degrades sufficiently, the modem will terminate the connection altogether.
