No.

14,400 really isn't worth it. The price saving isn't much and most ISP's
now have 28,800 support and the performance gain is noticeable.

I always use USR sportsers. They seem to work flawlessly, although I
did see some early ones that had bad firmware but USR updated them
without any hassles at all so that doesn't worry me and I don't think 
you'll find one of those around anymore anyway.
