Is the 288kbps the value reported by Windows??
This value is not reliable.
I would recommend something like https://www.broadbandspeedtest.co.uk for checking your speed.
There is a download section for the program.
The fastest way for a connection is to be close the exchange, not much you can do about that. Good modem that connects directly to your ethernet or LAN port.
Cheapo USB modems that ISPs provide are not made of the best components and USB connection is slightly slower than a dedicated LAN port.
