Back when people primarily used dial up to connect to the internet, I had a 56 Kbit X2 US Robotics X2 modem. Unfortunately my Internet Service Provider (Etisalat in the UAE) only had K-Flex modems. This meant that I could never really connect faster than around 33kbits /sec.
Since we were billed based on the number of hours of usage, I decided that upgrading to a K-Flex modem would give a potential speed increase up to 52kbits /sec. Not a huge increase, but it certainly did improve performance and a 10 megabyte download which previously took 41 minutes would now take 26 minutes.
