And, in fact, I could not install the modem drivers until I changed from two v.92 modems (same model) to one of the v.92s and an older v.90 I had.

Extremely strange, leading towards a tentative conclusion that MS is
doing something very weird.

Again, make sure you have ther latest/greatest firmware, and trial each
one independently to see if they flow at full speed.

Even if they are the _same_ model, and the _same_ firmware, and the -
same_ configuration being reported, they may _BE_
a different art master, chip revision level, etc., and/or one of them
could be weaker on the TN line.

Oftimes the tech support department of a mfg will not figure out the
details, only that "you have to do A to do B"when it really is "you have
to do A to install the driver, and then you can do B with two of the
same".

The only way to be sure is when you totally fail or succeed on one of
the many alternative legs of that decision tree.

Painful, but there it is ...

Same for networking configurations more modern than modems:  IPv6 with
QoS against a modern multimedia streaming server delivering
a conference video feed has the same type of problem set ... just
totally different details in the solution set.

But: it's the same wolf in different sheep's clothing all over again.

Hope the detail pops out simply for you (publish it when it does; it is
useful to _me_ to ind where a solution actually _is_
in the problem space; though it may only apply to Zoom v.9x modems,
etc. ....)
