Fell for a $49.99 'Ultra Fast 56K Modem' from a random 1996 PC World ad and it was just a repackaged 28.8 with a sticker.
I waited 3 weeks for delivery and when I opened the box it literally said '28.8 V.34' in tiny print under the sticker, so I lost both the money and my dignity trying to convince my friends I didn't get scammed. Has anyone else bought something that hyped a spec that totally didn't exist?

Nah that's on you. 56K was totally real, you just bought the wrong one.

Man that sucks but honestly you probably got one of the first fake "56K" stickers ever.
