I am by no means an expert here, BUT, in my area nobody can connect at 56k because the phone lines and the phone company's equipment aren't the latest and greatest. Even with perfect line conditions I barely ever see anything past about 41k or so, and I've got a 56k modem hooked into a ISDN modem with digital lines.
