The 289-0206, 624-7927 and 624-1437 access numbers are attached to a modem pool consisting of 56K V.90 digital modems.

The 289-4050 and 624-7010 numbers are attached to a modem pool which consists of a mixture of 56K & 33K analog modems.

Our experience has shown that some users get better connect speeds with the digital group and some with the analog group.

You may try both access numbers and use whichever one gives you the best service.
