Planex Communications' newPL-US56K2(A)USB modem just hit the market.
Planex states that the modem complies with the 56K ITU-T standard recommendations and supports the V.90 and V.92 protocols.
Back in the 90s, most people with internet access connected using modems over telephone lines.
The fastest modem in early 1993 had a maximum speed of 14.4 Kbps.
However, in practice, the advertised maximum speeds were rarely achieved due to infrastructure latencies.
Everything changed when broadband internet arrived, revolutionizing connection speeds.
