Huh?  28k8 or 33k6 gets you 3100-3500 cps.  You don't consider a more than 
*100%* speed increase as "much"?
Keep in mind that the single jump from 14k4 to 28k8 is a bigger speed-jump 
than upgrading all the modems you've ever bought in your life: 
300->1200->2400->9600 
*COMBINED*!
But yet people upgraded/replaced those.  Why would you do those and then 
*NOT* buy the biggest speed increase of all time????  (And go around telling 
everyone else that it's "NOT a heck of a lot faster".)
I paid $350 for my old 300bps modem.  
I paid $550 for my old 14k4 modem.
Isn't 28k8 worth the current price?
(They sell for as little as $99 these days.)
Lowest cost in history.  Fastest speed increase.  
(Please check the facts.)
