Maximum theoretical speed, though it's limited to 53k by federal law.

And can someone explain why it's limited to 53k?

otherwise you start to get static on the line of other callers or something like that

It's to do with the quality of the connection. The signal still travels through the line as an audio signal, not a digital one, and the sound at the other end is reconverted into data. 56K is the maximum current speed that data can travel through a normal telephone line before the signal degrades too much for the other computer to decode it.
