What kind of modem do I need to take advantage of the 56K technology that McLeodUSA uses?
The 56K standard was decided upon by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) earlier this year. With the McLeodUSA network you will be able to connect at the higher speeds available with 56K technology using two types of 56K modems — V.90 56K modems and K56Flex modems. If you have a X2 56K modem, you will need to upgrade it to the V.90 standard to get a 56K connection speed. For instructions on making this upgrade, go to your modem manufacturer’s website.
