I do not think ISP two has modems at all. You dial directly in to the
Cisco unit or something. At least that is what they told me. ISP one
has 56k modems.
We have a Windows machine here dialing into the same ISP (the slow one),
and that machine gets at least a 42000 connection.
Below you can see ping stats from ISP two:
--- ping statistics ---
26 packets transmitted, 26 packets received, 0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max = 89.4/107.6/174.8 ms
