That's a licensing issue with the hsfmodem driver, not a bug in Ubuntu.

If you haven't paid linuxant for the hsfmodem driver, the speed will be limited.

You have to pay linuxant for a license key before you can get the full speed, or alternatively buy a full-hardware modem (few and far between nowadays, but a serial one will almost definitely work).

See http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/, from which I quote:
# a free version (limited to 14.4Kbps data), available at no cost. Please use it to test if your hardware is compatible.
# a full version (with 56K and FAX), available for a modest price.

p.s. I hope my guessed translation for the title was correct - apologies if not.
