Does the internet speed come from a modem or from the company?
The modem will define the speed at which your will be able to access the internet connection. For example, if you have an ADSL modem, you will only be able to access speed at the modem max of 512k even though your telephone line has speeds up to 24,000k. Conversely, if your telephone line is only able to handle speeds upto 512k, having an ADSL2+ modem will not increase your speed. The technology for data transfer speed is in the cable sending and receiving data thus copper cables will be slower then fiber optics. A dial-up modem using the telephone line on analogue (instead of digital) will only transfer at a speed of 64k even though it is using the same copper cable capable of 512k.
