OK, well we all established that everyones cable servise is fast, but he was talking about 100mps. You are talking about 3. And whle you are drooling over that speed, just wait till your neighbor gets it, then your whole block, then your whole neighbourhood..... Then you`ll see that your 3mps peek turns into a spiffy 15kps. But enough w/ this non-sence..... I think we will all agree that we would never trade in our high bandwith connections for a cheesy analog modem no matter if we have Cable or DSL... ~Jerrud D.
