Am already making plans to switch to highspeed wireless Internet as the cable clogs. When I lived in Miami cable modems were shit but in Missouri they rock. Am working on setting up my wireless stuff so by the time the cable clogs up I'll be set for something even better. :) Gotta love technology. *^*^*^* Have the courage to take your own thoughts seriously, for they will shape you. -- Albert Einstein On Thu, 8 Feb 2001, Egan wrote:

As soon as your cable provider's customer base grows, it will be just like a POTS system again. Their don't engineer those networks to support the outrageous marketing claims they make.
Around here in the evening when most people are at home and online, the cable provider is only about twice as fast a 56k modem.
It's not even worth the extra cost. Sure, in the daytime, I was able to get downloads faster than a T1. But that doesn't help most people who want to be online in the evening when everyone else is downloading too.
