Is that dedicated 20 megabit from Qwest vs. "as high as" 25 megabit from Cox? Does that put Cox in the position of having to manage traffic so that you can get even a small sliver of that 25 megabits? How many independent 25 megabit channels fit on one strand of RG6 coax? A quick Google says that max frequency for coax is about 1 GHz. So 25 gozinta 1,000 about 40 times. Does that mean 40 channels? How much of this has to be reserved for TV and other services? What is Cox really selling? ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
