The fastest that you can get with a modem from one phone to another is 33.6 kbps. To an ISP you can get a max of 53 kbps download and an upload of 48 kbps for the new V.92 standard which not too many people know about yet. These rates are for ideal line conditions (local loop to central office). Here's info about it at my online book:

Another expensive option is to use ISDN which allows two 64 kbps channels or you can bond them for 128 kbps.
