- Within the US, it's $34.95 with shipping and handling. If you've bought
- a USR Sportster 28.8 NON V34+ then you can get the upgrade free if you
- bought it within the last month (So I was told by USR).
-
- You get:
-
- The ability to go 33.6 to another V.34+ modem (currently only USRs)
-
- At 28.8 your transfers will go up about another 300cps with another
- 28.8 modem
-
- With Internet apps, like with AmiTCP or even with EMPLANT,
- I get 3-4K/s With peaks of 10K, versus the old V34 at 2.5-3.5K/s
- and peaks of 6K.
-
- Since my provider doesn't use USR, I haven't connected anywhere at 33.6
- but I've been told by those who have, the speed is even faster.
