I really feel sorry for you guys on your 56K modems, especially if you are in the UK.
I had that piece of complete and utter crap from BT about 2 years ago and I got disconnected every hour or so without fail. Also if I kept trying to reconnect eventually they just locked me out and I would get error messages such as the "the line you are dialling is busy". I would have to wait 24 hours before I could reconnect, fucking amazing isn't when you pay them £14.99 per month and then don't give you a service.
In the end I went to BT Openworld ADSL and so far have not had any problems with them, no cutoffs, no capping, consistent high speed and low pings. I know the Broadband companies are pretty slow at rolling out to other parts of England, well any where out of London really but here is a link that might help: http://www.adslguide.org.uk/ Here you will find the latest news on Broadband companies in the UK and there is a section where you can register your interest in Broadband in an area it is not currently available. Many companies set a threshold of "interested" users for a specific area, once this threshold is met they will install Broadband in that area. You can register your interested for you area at adslguide, I would suggest doing this if your area does not currently support Broadband.
