Yes and when it went to 2400, it seemed like heaven at first. Ahh...
the good ol' days.

54k was the ****.

we never did get the benefit of the 54k modem upgrade. The aged copper
in our area would never support more than about 41-43k. We went from
that to 1.5 Mb/s with roadrunner on cable when they finally got all the
amps installed. We'd had cable for decades, but they had to upgrade the
amps along the way to facilitate the RR working properly. Now that we
don't live in that area anymore, the RR is working at about 12 Mb/s
...... we are out in the country on a radio wave connection at 768k.
sigh.
