Hello,
I think I agree with what Fuzzy Fox said. From what I heard,
cable ISPs limits a certain amount bandwidth for a building/area. For
eg, if you have a neighbor that has cable and is downloading heaps of
shit and u also also doing that also, u'd find that you only get rates
half of what u'd normally get if you are using it alone. I think there
are ISPs which guarantees a certain bandwidth but I seriously doubt
it.
So if i'm correct, what's the use of using 2 cable modems from the
same isp. A greater challenge would be to combine DSL with cable :)
Do correct me if i'm wrong too.
