- I currently own a generic 14.4 modem and am thinking about upgrading to
- a 28.8. Some questions:
-
- 1) What is V.42 and V.34. I know they relate to data compression and
- error correction, but which is better?
-
- 2) How much can I expect my internet performance improve? Is a 28.8
- double the speed of a 14.4 or is it some multiple?
-
- 3) Which one to buy? Thinking about a Hayes Accura because they are
- always on the software lists? I'd like to spemd $150 or less. Please
- advise.
-
- Thanks for your insights.
