Factors such as phone line noise as well as the quality of the modem itself play a large part in determining connection speeds.

The modem re-raises the signal in time for the computer to resume sending audio data before the playback buffer becomes completely empty.
Data Carrier Detect (DCD) or Carrier Detect (CD) is a control signal present inside an RS-232 serial communications cable that goes between a computer and another device, such as a modem. This signal is a simple "high/low" status bit that is sent from a data communications equipment (DCE) to a data terminal equipment (DTE), i.e., from the modem ...
