Absolutely yes.  FCC Part 68 doesn't, which governs connections to 
the telephone network, places no limitations on the speed you can 
transmit.  It does govern the bandwidth and signal strength, but 
modems are designed to work within these limitations.  People use 
14,400bps and faster modulation on standard voice-grade dial-up 
phone lines every day, with excellent results.
