The World Wide Web offers businesses and families a range of resources no one could imagine only a few years ago. But to see the detailed graphics and lifelike motion built into today's most advanced sites, or to hear near-CD quality sound, computer users need the fastest downloads possible over analog phone lines. Now the V.90 U.S. Robotics? 56K Faxmodem gives users faster downloads for a more exciting, rewarding online experience.
The ITU has now decided on an international 56K standard: V.90 . U.S. Robotics is the first V.90 -compliant modem brand available. So U.S. Robotics modem users can now get all the Internet they want from any service provider offering either V.90 or x2 technology.
Internet service providers in more than 11,000 North American cities (and worldwide), including America Online, CompuServe, IBM Global Services, MCI, MindSpring, NETCOM, Prodigy Internet and WebAmerica Networks already offer x2 technology to their subscribers. And 3Com is working with providers everywhere to quickly upgrade their service to the V.90 standard.
