>>Yeah, I know. I had checked out cable modems and eliminated them from the running when I found out that limitation. Well, I guess all I can do is sit and wait. (and wait, and wait...)

Donny, you may be right. But speed is so seductive. Once you've experienced it flat out, you just won't be able to live with anything less. Especially if you're still paying the same price! Already have a second phone line, so no big deal there. ADSL, though not as fast as cable modems, should provide a more constant access speed. ADSL is supposed to available for ~$40/month 256K, with faster speeds available, with even faster speeds coming (yeah, right) in the near future. Cable modems are about $55/month ($45 if you already are a cable customer, which I'm not). The cable is already at the street, but I chose satellite for my TV. Who knows, I might have to bite the bullet and go cable if I get tired of waiting.
