- The question is not what's a standard and whose but :
-
- - what is the percentage of market penetration of V.32terbo?
- hint : nearly nothing. USR modem are frequent at ISP sites but check out their
- connect statistics for terbo modes.
-
- - do you get a better connectivity and throughput at 16.8 and 19.2 at V.34 or
- by connecting at V.32terbo at such speeds ?
- hint : not at terbo.
-
- - why did Zyxel abandon pushing their version of V.32bis extension (which is what
- the terbo is) and limit it to 16.8k only?
- hint : that technique has been a dead-end before and after the V.34 introduction
- for performance reasons. AT&T's flavor is no exception to it.
-
- V.32terbo today is what Bell212A has been for many years. A checkmark on feature
- list. Don't beat the dead horse.
