Australia; land of the Taiwanese castoff 8) (Although at least two of
the modems I'm thinking of are local products).
I wouldn't say that v34 would account for anything like 50% of the sales
here; there's been very aggressive marketing of low-end modems into
the SOHO (*puke*) market.
Whilst I agree that faster is better, I think a default solution that's
likely to work in the vast majority of cases is probably the 'safe'
thing to do. (Not that it's up to me to decide 8)
