Well you heard very, very wrong. Cable modems are 1.5megs tops, and you don`t
even get that. You must be thinking of a T3, because cablem modems *dont* do
100mps. My in-house LAN is 100mps, but thats a LAN, and i dont even get 100mps
on that. Sorry to burst your bubble, but with cable you`ll get around 5k to
about 600kps....not 100mps. ah yeah BTW, my DSL line can smoke cable modems
too. It all depends on the server you are d/l`ing from, and what kind of DSL
package you buy.
