There has been snow and lots of heavy rain recently.
Ideal for line faults especially underground, however usually it just
deteriorates.
The boings are the V.90 tests and negotiations over line speed. The poorer
the line the longer it takes and the lower the eventual line speed.
The theoretical maximum is 56kb, however in perfect conditions you will get
48kb, and then conditions worsen it falls back to V.34, V.32bis, V.32 all
the way down to 1k2bps.
