The latest version of the Motorola USB modem driver at

now permits full USB speed to be selected (e.g., 12,000,000 bits per
second on my ancient ThinkPad 600 which only has USB 1.1), rather than
the previous limit of 960,000 bits per second).

This can be an advantage with new high-speed data services (HSDPA, EV-DO
Rev A) and to reduce latency even on slower services. It can also make
things like file transfer, syncing, and backup/restore much faster.
