Hi!
Since the topic is about fast connection. Can anyone tell me what cable
modems are about, the fees, and all. I've heard too many different
stories.. So all I know is either 1)you buy a cable modem for around $260
from comp store like UBM (i think in Houston) and.. or 2) you call up a
cable company and get a cable modem from them and pay monthly fees... I'll
aprreciate any sort of clarification..
Thanks.
