Cable Modems are things to stay....
reasons being ...
1) No telephone bill
2) Usage of TV as a surfing machine
3) Reduction of costs .
I am in the process on installing a Cable modem as my cablewala is gonna
start services ( dunno when though)
Will inform you on more as i dig deeper.
As far as te costs are concerned ... it is Rs.2000/- per month and a cable
modem costs anywhere between 35000-50000
for more information try www.cable-modems.net
