The first 56k modems were download at 56k, upload at 33.6. In theory that was the same upload speed as a 33.6k modem, but I guess line quality could have caused some issue with the higher download baudrate meaning that the upload suffered (say getting 45 down 28 up)
It wasn't until 2000 that upload got upto 48k (still not the full 56k on the download). I moved to cable/dsl in late 1999 so didn't go beyond 56/33.6
