Technically, I don't know; I haven't used, studied etc class 2.0. However,
with little industry support so far for 2.0, the effect is just that.

But V.34 is technically far superior to V.FC, and it works. Perhaps if
either class 2 didn't work properly, or class 2.0 was significantly
improved over 2, then 2.0 might take off, as V.34 did.
