I don't know the exact reason, but during High school, we where taught
that the faster the modem the more band width it took up.
Bascaiily each line is only allocated a certain amount
only a certain amount is alloacated for each line. So if you started
using more band width, you would interfere with other peoples calls.
thanx for your time
