oops forgot to mention something, notice since it's signal-to-noise ratio, not just noise power, we can get more data through by increasing the power of our signal.
Hence the problem with "56kbps": the amount of power you're allowed to put through is limited by the FCC, and so is the capacity - so we only get 40-something kbps..
BTW there are lots of posts talking about the capacity theorem in more detail, for those interested in the maths.
