if you are getting dial-up connections at 49-50k in a neighborhood that is too far from the switchbox for DSL, then you are doing good. Nitpicking over 2 or 3k at this point probably won't get you much other than a headache and a lot of back-and-forth trips to the store.
It is also possible that you won't see a speed improvement -- when a modem dials into your ISP's server modem bank, the two devices negotiate the highest possible speed that can be maintained with a minimum of corruption. It is possible that your new modem is just a bit picker than your old one, and your old one may have not been performing any better due to accepting (and then having to drop) a slightly higher ratio of corrupted packets.
That is just speculation on my part, but I have heard that the AOpen PCI modems are good stuff so...
