K56flex is supported in Manitoba (MTS), Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland and Labrador (NewTel).

56 Kbps dialup service areas are be indicated on the Local dialup access speeds table. All K56flex-capable modems will work with the Sympatico service in those locations, but Sympatico Member Services does not recommend "Winmodem" style modems.

While we will assist our members to the best of our ability, it is still your responsibility to ensure that your modem is correctly installed and functioning properly. The Sympatico service is committed to providing our members with fast, reliable Internet service and the implementation of K56flex technology provides our members with analog connections of up to 53 Kbps.

Even though K56flex is a competitor to U.S.R.'s x2 technology, you can use U.S. Robotics' LineTest to test your phone line for use at speeds close to 56 Kbps.
