V.92 modems reduce the negotiation time between your ISP and your modem by up to 50% so you can dial-in faster. The most significant feature that makes the V.92 modem faster than the V.90 modem is the new V.44 compression protocol which is based upon compression technology that can speed up your current web browsing by as much as 50%. Note: not all V.92 modems require V.44 data compression.
