- More precisely, it's not user-upgradable. When Supra is sure that
- the 33.6 stuff is stable, there'll be an upgrade policy, but it will
- involve either exchanging your modem for a new one or sending the current
- one in for an upgrade.
- Also, if you're reliably getting 26.4, it's probably not worth it at
- this point: if the line can't handle 28.8, it's not likely to handle 33.6.
