What makes a V.92 modem faster than V.90?
There are three features that allow the V.92 modem to give you faster speeds. First, the V.92 specification provides improved “automatic negotiation” or “handshake” (the way modems determine compatibility) and decide what standards to use to communicate. With a typical V.90 modem this can take as long as 30 seconds. With Quick Connect, the entire process can be shortened to as little as 10 seconds using the same location and line. The V.92 Modem also includes V.44, a new international data compression standard. V.44 was designed specifically for the Internet, and can increase the effective speed of your Internet page loading by 30%.
