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.
