One way to tell if it is one your end is to disconnect your phone line at the demac (usually a grey box ourside the house) and plug the modem in there, if it is still 28.8k, the issue is not inside the house. I tried to remain child-like, all I acheived was childish.

Good FAQ section. If it's download speed you're after then
you might wish to try downloading EasyMTU by Rob Vonk. I can't imgine that it will affect your connection speed though, just utilise it better.
I run a conexant 56K V90, and regularly get speeds of 54667. The only time that differs is when my ISP has connecting problems. My son using my phone socket with a 10 metre extension cable to his PC and gets around 50000 also using EasyMTU.
