Can't believe that upgrading my generic 56k modem to this showed a performance gain of up to 250%. Yes, 2.5x!! The generic modem, which most of have nowadays is pathetic. The connection speed is greater and the hardware chip set is phenomenal.

Sure, you can buy an internal modem, but you will not get the kind of bandwidth that an external modem can give you. Not everybody is on Cable or DSL, and not everybody needs that kind of bandwidth. Dial-up connections to the internet are dependent on the quality of your local phone lines. I can get a solid 53.3Kbps connection and you'd be surprised at how fast I can surf and do the common things we do online. Sure, Cable and DSL are great, but do you need to spend [a lot] a month to download your 4k e-mails and read CNN.com?

I made the mistake of upgrading my other modem to the new V.92 standard and it would no longer connect to my ISP so I bought this one. I get great speed, for where I live (15 miles from anywhere) and can use it with the multiple operating systems I have on my computer. Just don't upgrade to the new standard until your ISP does. :)
