45kb/s is average for 56K, I consistantly connect at 45,333 with the occasional 46,666. Connection rate isn't everything, throughput is. As for what you can do to improve your connection, new drivers first and foremost, second check if your ISP has more than 1 number to dial and check each one at different times of day or night, third check the phone wiring and eliminate things like switchers or answering machines or other phones that might be on the same line before the modem. 1 trick I learned long ago is to run a new wire directly to the customer side of the phone box where all the other phone lines in the house meet. This pretty much guarantees your modem is first in line. look at <a href="http://developer.intel.com/design/modems/" target="_blank">http://developer.intel.com/design/modems/</a> for drivers.

I usually get a 50,666 connection at home, but I hear it's an exception - not a rule.
I've also tweaked MTU settings and optimized the heck out of all the dialup networking options to make sure I squeeze all I can out of it.

You can never get 56k because some of the bandwidth is for sending and some for receiving if you get 50 then you are on a winner, less than 40 something is ammiss.
So looks like you are fine.

Specifically, this limit is mandated by the FCC and CRTC as any higher ANALOGUE speeds would exceed the power limits on the copper wires.
