-> Connection speed is a function of available effective line bandwidth
-> all the way from your modem's 'phone socket to the remote's.
-> The greater the bandwidth, the more likely you are to achieve higher

-> Some modems negotiate at a lower rate and then
-> rate up-shift once the connection's been successfully negotiated

-> Other modems, in the chase for commercial advantage, negotiate too

If this is all true then, what are the benefits of changing the Carrier
level?
