Wrong. V.34 supports speeds from 2400 bps through 33600 bps.

To be sure V.34 at 2400 bps in theory provides better signal quality
for a given SNR than does V.22bis at 2400 bps. However, in my
(considerable, actually) experience, it is not uncommon for V.22bis
to perform better than V.34, since V.34 does echo cancellation in
the modem ... if network echo cancellers enable, then this pretty
much blows V.34, while V.22bis is fine with this.
