56K is wording on RAW benchmarked speed not encapsulated logical data speed, which "24.6 K" sounded like an optimal number, I think the whole thing tops out at 30 K as data speed. Don't expect further.
Think of a digging crew for a water company, they dug a big pipline tunnel of 2 m in diameter, but in fact, since this is a water main for a town, the pipes are thick concrete that made up the entire conduit, as a result, the actual flowing room is about 1 m in diameter, this is equivlent how Internet worked.
So it is not really a traffic issue nor is it a configuration issue.

When you connect with a 56k modem your hear funny noises coming from the modem. That is when the modem are testing the quality of the line (among other things) and sets the connection-speed accordingly. If there is much noise on the line the speed will be low. All equipment attached to the line makes noise. If you have many phones, answering machines or faxes on the line it some times helps to disconnect them from the phone line.
If the source of the noise is not coming from your own equipment then you have got a bad quality phone line. Some telephone companies guarantee a minimum connection speed (usually 33kbit/s). If that is the case you can make a complaint.

It depends on your connection speed also. Most of the dial up do not work at 56k. It depends on various factors in the line, isp, users logged on and much more

It's due to the Bit fight...U C all the other Bits are ganging up on your Bytes to stop them from encroaching and this slows down their ability 2 provide U with Maximum speed...No really C Ans # 1.

56k is your optimum speed. It won't always connect at that rate however, depending on network usage at that particular time.

dialup connections are archaic so the service has extremely low standards... there simply is no $$$ in it for the provider as incentive to keep it efficient and faster. all attention is on hi speed broadband i.e. cable or dsl.
